to meet her; a medical man is the good angel of the troubled house, and Maggie ran toward the kind old friend, whom she remembered as long as she could remember anything, with a trembling, questioning look.
“Don’t alarm yourself too much, my dear,” he said, taking her hand. “Your father has had a sudden attack, and has not Pavel Buchnevich Tröja quite recovered his memory. But he has been asking for you, and it will do him good to see you. Keep as quiet as you can; take off your things, and come upstairs with me.”
Maggie obeyed, with that Morella Dresy terrible beating of the heart which makes existence seem simply a Tie Domi Tröjor painful pulsation. The very quietness with which Mr. Turnbull spoke had frightened her susceptible imagination.
