"Perhaps if it does cost more you'll pay it out of your own pocket."
"I contribute already to the support of the poorhouse, being a large taxpayer, and I give my medical services without exacting payment. The town is not mean, and I will see that no fault is found with reasonable bills."
"I wish you'd fall and break your neck, you old meddler," thought Mrs. Fogson, but she did not dare to say this.
"One thing more, madam!" said the doctor, who had now entered the room where Jed and her husband were; "reserve your hot water for its legitimate uses. No more scalding, if you please."
