Excerpt from Miss. Gilbert's Career: An American StoryDr. Theophilus gilbert was in a hurry. He had been in a hurry all night. He had been in a hurry all the morning. While the village of Crampton was asleep, he had amputated the limb of a young man ten miles distant, attended a child in convulsions on his way home, and assisted in introducing into existence an infant at the house of his next-door neighbor - how sad an exist ence - how terrible a life - neither he nor the poor mother, widowed but a month, could imagine.Dr. Gilbert had taken an early breakfast, and still the black Canadian pony, with his bushy head down, the long hair over his eyes, and his shaggy fetlocks splashed with mud, flew around the village of Crampton, bearing the doctor in his gig, and stopping here and there at the houses of his patients without the straightening of a rein, as if the pony knew quite as well as the doctor where the sick people were, and had a private interest in the busi ness.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
