The whole thing
would be much simpler if Eustace were fit to be moved at once to Valleys
House; and with much relief she found that the doctor saw no danger
in this course. The recovery had been remarkable--touch and go for bad
brain fever just avoided! Lord Miltoun's constitution was extremely
sound. Yes, he would certainly favour a removal. His rooms were too
confined in this weather. Well nursed--(decidedly) Oh; yes! Quite!
And the doctor's eyes became perhaps a trifle more intense. Not a
professional, he understood. It might be as well to have another nurse,
if they were making the change. They would have this lady knocking up.
Just so! Yes, he would see to that. An ambulance carriage he thought
advisable. That could all be arranged for this afternoon--at once--he
himself would look to it. They might take Lord Miltoun off just as he
was; the men would know what to do. And when they had him at Valleys
House, the moment he showed interest in his food, down to the sea-down
to the sea! At this time of year nothing like it! Then with regard
to nourishment, he would be inclined already to shove in a leetle
stimulant, a thimbleful perhaps four times a day with food--not
without--mixed with an egg, with arrowroot, with custard. A week would
see him on his legs, a fortnight at the sea make him as good a man as
ever.
