This was the first observation of Mr. Woods when he came to his senses. He swore feebly when Peggy was denied to him. He pleaded. He scolded. He even threatened, as a last resort, to get out of bed and go in immediate search of her; and in return, Jeal told him very affably that it was far less difficult to manage a patient in a straight jacket than one out of it, and that personally nothing would please him so much as a plausible pretext for clapping Mr. Woods into one of 'em. Jeal had his own methods in dealing with the fractious.

y observed, it is an immense consolation to any man to reflect that his home no longer contains "more damn' foolishness to the square inch than any other house in the United States." On all sides they sought for Cock-eye Flinks. But they never found him, and to this day they have never found him. The Fates having played their pawn, swept it from the board, and Cock-eye Flinks disappeared in Clotho's capacious pocket. All this time the young people saw nothing of one another. On this point Jeal was adamantean. "In a sick-room," he vehemently declared, "a woman is well enough, but _the_ woman is the devil and all. I've told that young man plainly, sir, that he doesn't see your daughter till he gets well--and, by George, sir, he'll get well now just in order to see her. Nature is the only doctor who ever cures anybody, Colonel; we humans, for all our pill-boxes and lancets, can only prompt her--and devilish demoralising advice we generally give her, too," he added, with a chuckle. "Peggy! THOROUGHLY FOR AS HE FEELINGLY AND INFREQUENTLY OBSERVED IT IS AN IMMENSE CONSOLATION TO ANY MAN TO REFLECT THAT HIS HOME NO LONGER CONTAINS MORE DAMNED FOOLISHNESS TO THE SQUARE INCH THAN ANY OTHER HOUSE IN THE UNITED STATES ON ALL SIDES THEY SOUGHT FOR CAWEE FLINKS BUT THEY NEVER FOUND HIM AND TO THIS DAY THEY HAVE NEVER FOUND HIM THE FATES HAVING PLAYED THEREUPON SWEPT IT FROM THE BOARD AND COCKEYE FLINKS DISAPPEARED IN CLOTHO'S CAPACIOUS POCKETS ALL THIS TIME THE YOUNG PEOPLE SAW NOTHING OF ONE ANOTHER ON THIS POINT GEO WAS ADAMANTIN IN A SICK ROOM HE VEHEMENTLY DECLARED A WOMAN IS WELL ENOUGH BUT THE WOMAN IS THE DEVIL AND ALL I'VE TOLD THAT YOUNG MAN PLAINLY SIR THAT HE DOESN'T SEE YOUR DAUGHTER TILL HE GETS WELL AND BY GEORGE SIR HE'LL GET WELL NOW JUST IN ORDER TO SEE HER NATURE IS THE ONLY DOCTOR WHO EVER CURES ANYBODY COLONEL WE HUMANS FOR ALL OUR PILL BOXES AND LANCETS CAN ONLY PROMPT HER AND DEVILISH DEMORALIZING ADVICE WE GENERALLY GIVE HER TO HE ADDED WITH A CHUCKLE PEGGY
