This was violent quinsy, but, under the Doctor's skilful treatment, it was soon cured. THIS WAS VIOLENT QUINSY BUT UNDER THE DOCTOR'S SKILFUL TREATMENT IT WAS SOON CURED
Absurd! Pray tell me what they have to do with it? What influence can they possibly have on the temperature?" "An immense one, if we are to believe horticulturists, who call them the patron saints of the frost." "And for what reason?" "Because generally there is a periodical frost in the month of May, and it is coldest from the 11th to the 13th. That is the fact." "And how is it explained?" "In two ways. Some say that a larger number of asteroids come between the earth and the sun at this time of year, and others that the mere melting of the snow necessarily absorbs a large amount of heat, and accounts for the low temperature. Both theories are plausible enough, but the fact remains whichever we accept, and I ought to have remembered it." The Doctor was right, for the cold lasted till the end of the month, and put an end to all their hunting expeditions. The old monotonous life in-doors recommenced, and was unmarked by any incident except a serious illness which suddenly attacked Bell.
