"Poor cretur!" said Alice, "I 'll mae her a warm mash o' meal: it 'll, mappen, do her good." The warm mash o' meal did her a little good at first, but she got worse and worse towards night; and the next morning Felix, who was ever the ready messenger, was sent off by Christie to Dent-town, to fetch the cow-leech; "and tell him to mae a' th' haste he can," said he, "for her's varra badly."
