Chapter VI
"What shall I be at fifty. Should nature keep me alive If I find the world so bitter When I am but twenty-five?" AT THE end of the week Dr. Carey ceased his visits, "You won't need me any more," he assured Marie. "Take care of yourself, that is all, and no more bathing this season." Marie shivered, "No, I promise that."
