1 My doctor is my father's cousin.
2 'Th' doctors thought he'd have to be put in a 'sylum.'
3 "It is certainly a new state of affairs," said the doctor.
4 Then a big doctor came to see him an made them take it off.
5 "I hadn't really decided to suggest it," said the doctor, with his slight nervousness.
6 The doctor said he must have fresh air and if he wants us to take him out no one dare disobey him.
7 The nurse was neither clever nor soft-hearted but she could repeat some of the London doctor's words.
8 If the doctor knew he'd found out he could stand on his feet he'd likely write and tell Mester Craven.
9 Colin answered as if neither the doctor's alarm nor Mrs. Medlock's terror were of the slightest consequence.
10 I used to wear an iron thing to keep my back straight, but a grand doctor came from London to see me and said it was stupid.
11 He had supplied doctors and nurses and luxuries, but he had shrunk from the mere thought of the boy and had buried himself in his own misery.
12 "The nurse would come running and Mrs. Medlock would come running and they would be sure you had gone crazy and they'd send for the doctor," she said.
13 There was just a minute's silence, for even Colin tried to hold his breath while Mary looked up and down his spine, and down and up, as intently as if she had been the great doctor from London.
14 As there had been occasions when this same young gentleman had shrieked aloud with rage and had insisted that fresh air would give him cold and kill him, it is not to be wondered at that his doctor felt somewhat startled.
