Yet
notwithstanding
all
this
,
the
boy
grew
more
and
more
melancholy
and
pale
and
dejected
.
She
added
hot
baths
,
sitz
baths
,
shower
baths
,
and
plunges
.
The
boy
remained
as
dismal
as
a
hearse
.
She
began
to
assist
the
water
with
a
slim
oatmeal
diet
and
blister-plasters
.
She
calculated
his
capacity
as
she
would
a
jug
's
,
and
filled
him
up
every
day
with
quack
cure-alls
.
742
Tom
had
become
indifferent
to
persecution
by
this
time
.
This
phase
filled
the
old
lady
's
heart
with
consternation
.
This
indifference
must
be
broken
up
at
any
cost
.
Now
she
heard
of
Pain-killer
for
the
first
time
.
She
ordered
a
lot
at
once
.
She
tasted
it
and
was
filled
with
gratitude
.
It
was
simply
fire
in
a
liquid
form
.
She
dropped
the
water
treatment
and
everything
else
,
and
pinned
her
faith
to
Pain-killer
.
She
gave
Tom
a
teaspoonful
and
watched
with
the
deepest
anxiety
for
the
result
.
Her
troubles
were
instantly
at
rest
,
her
soul
at
peace
again
;
for
the
"
indifference
"
was
broken
up
.
The
boy
could
not
have
shown
a
wilder
,
heartier
interest
,
if
she
had
built
a
fire
under
him
.
743
Tom
felt
that
it
was
time
to
wake
up
;
this
sort
of
life
might
be
romantic
enough
,
in
his
blighted
condition
,
but
it
was
getting
to
have
too
little
sentiment
and
too
much
distracting
variety
about
it
.
So
he
thought
over
various
plans
for
relief
,
and
finally
hit
pon
that
of
professing
to
be
fond
of
Pain-killer
.
He
asked
for
it
so
often
that
he
became
a
nuisance
,
and
his
aunt
ended
by
telling
him
to
help
himself
and
quit
bothering
her
.

If
it
had
been
Sid
,
she
would
have
had
no
misgivings
to
alloy
her
delight
;
but
since
it
was
Tom
,
she
watched
the
bottle
clandestinely
.
She
found
that
the
medicine
did
really
diminish
,
but
it
did
not
occur
to
her
that
the
boy
was
mending
the
health
of
a
crack
in
the
sitting-room
floor
with
it
.
745
One
day
Tom
was
in
the
act
of
dosing
the
crack
when
his
aunt
's
yellow
cat
came
along
,
purring
,
eying
the
teaspoon
avariciously
,
and
begging
for
a
taste
.
Tom
said
:
746
"
Do
n't
ask
for
it
unless
you
want
it
,
Peter
.
"
747
But
Peter
signified
that
he
did
want
it
.

"
You
better
make
sure
.
"
749
Peter
was
sure
.
750
"
Now
you
've
asked
for
it
,
and
I
'll
give
it
to
you
,
because
there
ai
n't
anything
mean
about
me
;
but
if
you
find
you
do
n't
like
it
,
you
must
n't
blame
anybody
but
your
own
self
.
