Children take to it naturally because they like the taste and the remedy takes just as naturally to the children be- cause it is so perfectly adapted to their wants. Scott’s Emulsion is simply a milk of pure cod liver oil with some hypophosphites especially prepared for delicate stomachs. It is like the penny in the milk because it works and because there is something astonishing about it.

His reference to a “bite and a drop” was obviously fig- urative, especially the “drop.” which grew to the dimensions of a pint, which he swallowed quickly. Perhaps the flavor of the wine made him less at- tentive to his prisoner, for as he lifted the receptacle to his lips she thrust her arms through the window and a play book dropped from her hand. a possi- ble clew for any one who might follow the coach.

She believed him un- settled. bereft of reason. and, although he was manifestly growing less hos- tile, his surveillance became almost unbearable. At every moment she felt him regarding her like a lynx and en- deavored therefore to keep perfectly still. What would her strange wax-(let do next? It was not an alarming act, however. He consulted a massive watch. remarking: As he watched her out of the corner of his eye. weighing doubt and uncer- tainty, new ideas assailed him. After all she had spirit. courage!
