He
refused
to
allow
her
to
do
this
,
saying
that
he
could
quite
easily
be
his
own
doctor
in
such
a
trifling
matter
as
a
cold
.
Some
hot
lemonade
was
made
at
his
request
,
with
a
view
to
producing
perspiration
.
Lady
Montbarry
’
s
maid
having
left
her
at
that
time
,
the
courier
Ferrari
(
then
the
only
servant
in
the
house
)
went
out
to
buy
the
lemons
.
Her
ladyship
made
the
drink
with
her
own
hands
.
It
was
successful
in
producing
perspiration
—
and
Lord
Montbarry
had
some
hours
of
sleep
afterwards
.
Later
in
the
day
,
having
need
of
Ferrari
’
s
services
,
Lady
Montbarry
rang
for
him
.
The
bell
was
not
answered
.
Baron
Rivar
searched
for
the
man
,
in
the
palace
and
out
of
it
,
in
vain
.
From
that
time
forth
not
a
trace
of
Ferrari
could
be
discovered
.
This
happened
on
November
14
.
’
On
the
night
of
the
14th
,
the
feverish
symptoms
accompanying
his
lordship
’
s
cold
returned
.
They
were
in
part
perhaps
attributable
to
the
annoyance
and
alarm
caused
by
Ferrari
’
s
mysterious
disappearance
.
It
had
been
impossible
to
conceal
the
circumstance
,
as
his
lordship
rang
repeatedly
for
the
courier
;
insisting
that
the
man
should
relieve
Lady
Montbarry
and
the
Baron
by
taking
their
places
during
the
night
at
his
bedside
.
’
On
the
15th
(
the
day
on
which
the
old
woman
first
came
to
do
the
housework
)
,
his
lordship
complained
of
sore
throat
,
and
of
a
feeling
of
oppression
on
the
chest
.
On
this
day
,
and
again
on
the
16th
,
her
ladyship
and
the
Baron
entreated
him
to
see
a
doctor
.
He
still
refused
.
"
I
don
’
t
want
strange
faces
about
me
;
my
cold
will
run
its
course
,
in
spite
of
the
doctor
,
"
—
that
was
his
answer
.
On
the
17th
he
was
so
much
worse
that
it
was
decided
to
send
for
medical
help
whether
he
liked
it
or
not
.
Baron
Rivar
,
after
inquiry
at
the
consul
’
s
,
secured
the
services
of
Doctor
Bruno
,
well
known
as
an
eminent
physician
in
Venice
;
with
the
additional
recommendation
of
having
resided
in
England
,
and
having
made
himself
acquainted
with
English
forms
of
medical
practice
.
’
Thus
far
our
account
of
his
lordship
’
s
illness
has
been
derived
from
statements
made
by
Lady
Montbarry
.
The
narrative
will
now
be
most
fitly
continued
in
the
language
of
the
doctor
’
s
own
report
,
herewith
subjoined
.
’
"
My
medical
diary
informs
me
that
I
first
saw
the
English
Lord
Montbarry
,
on
November
17
.
He
was
suffering
from
a
sharp
attack
of
bronchitis
.
Some
precious
time
had
been
lost
,
through
his
obstinate
objection
to
the
presence
of
a
medical
man
at
his
bedside
.
Generally
speaking
,
he
appeared
to
be
in
a
delicate
state
of
health
.
His
nervous
system
was
out
of
order
—
he
was
at
once
timid
and
contradictory
.
When
I
spoke
to
him
in
English
,
he
answered
in
Italian
;
and
when
I
tried
him
in
Italian
,
he
went
back
to
English
.
It
mattered
little
—
the
malady
had
already
made
such
progress
that
he
could
only
speak
a
few
words
at
a
time
,
and
those
in
a
whisper
.
’
"
I
at
once
applied
the
necessary
remedies
.
Copies
of
my
prescriptions
(
with
translation
into
English
)
accompany
the
present
statement
,
and
are
left
to
speak
for
themselves
.
’
"
For
the
next
three
days
I
was
in
constant
attendance
on
my
patient
.
He
answered
to
the
remedies
employed
—
improving
slowly
,
but
decidedly
.
I
could
conscientiously
assure
Lady
Montbarry
that
no
danger
was
to
be
apprehended
thus
far
.
She
was
indeed
a
most
devoted
wife
.
I
vainly
endeavoured
to
induce
her
to
accept
the
services
of
a
competent
nurse
;
she
would
allow
nobody
to
attend
on
her
husband
but
herself
.
Night
and
day
this
estimable
woman
was
at
his
bedside
.
In
her
brief
intervals
of
repose
,
her
brother
watched
the
sick
man
in
her
place
.
This
brother
was
,
I
must
say
,
very
good
company
,
in
the
intervals
when
we
had
time
for
a
little
talk
.
He
dabbled
in
chemistry
,
down
in
the
horrid
under
-
water
vaults
of
the
palace
;
and
he
wanted
to
show
me
some
of
his
experiments
.
I
have
enough
of
chemistry
in
writing
prescriptions
—
and
I
declined
.
He
took
it
quite
good
-
humouredly
.
’
"
I
am
straying
away
from
my
subject
.
Let
me
return
to
the
sick
lord
.
