“Don’t fret.” Dr. Felch reassured, “I only said maybe. According to my experience, there should be hope still, but we must be patient.”

“That’s good to know.” Mrs. Berry’s voice sounded choked when she spoke. “Dr. Felch, Mr. Windt is no longer with us and Miss is his only surviving child. You must cure her for his sake.”
