Then the Catl wont Down Over the prayer Book again and the smile on her face broadened As her neighbor coughed and her neighbor s neighbor coughed and the court wits taken up Here and there Aud everywhere until the once silent Tabernacle had the sounds Peculiar to the consumptive Ward in a big Hospital.
