7/18 Can't you find me a professional mesmerizer to come and undo the baby ?" "I don't believe I can. The only one I know of lives in San Francisco, and he couldn't get here in less than a week even if we should telegraph for him." "By that time," shrieked Mr.Fogg, "the baby'll be dead and Maria will be insane! What, under Heaven, are we going to do about it ?" "Let's hunt up Brown; maybe he knows." So they went around to Dr.Brown's office and revealed the secret to him. Brown seemed to think that he might perhaps do something to rob the situation of its horrors, and he accompanied Mr.Fogg and Dr. When they entered, Mrs.Fogg was rapidly becoming hysterical. Dr.Brown placed the baby on the bed; he slapped its little hands and rubbed its forehead and dashed cold water in its face. |
