Cbe Doctor ' s Cure CHE Doctor began in a tone quite cj-nical : Of course, if yon will keep him clone up in cotton wool — Then he met George ' s sad eyes, looked ag-ain at his patiently folded hands, and burst forth hotly : Madam, take those collars off that boy, and cut his hair, and take off those shoes ! Yes, sir ! Let hin go barefoot, I tell you ! It was understood in the village that when the Doctor said Sir to a woman the case was a serious one. Let him play with the Italian children if he wants to ; never mind their morals. Let them teach him to steal apples and grow fat.
