He says that the big British victory at New Chapelle cost more than it was worth and he has forbid Joe Milgrave to come near the house because Joe ran up his father 's flag when the news came . Have you noticed , Mrs. Dr. dear , that the Czar has changed that Prish name to Premysl , which proves that the man had good sense , Russian though he is ? Joe Vickers told me in the store that he saw a very queer looking thing in the sky tonight over Lowbridge way . Do you suppose it could have been a Zeppelin , Mrs. Dr. dear ? '' `` I do not think it very likely , Susan . '' `` Well , I would feel easier about it if Whiskers-on-the-moon were not living in the Glen .

'' `` Ah , that is the mystery , Mrs. Dr. dear . In my opinion the Government would do well to keep an eye on that man if it does not want us to be all murdered in our beds some night . Now I shall just look over the papers a minute before going to write a letter to little Jem . Two things I never did , Mrs. Dr. dear , were write letters and read politics .

'' `` Do n't swear , Susan , '' said Dr. Blythe , pulling a long face . '' ` Devilish ' is not swearing , doctor , dear . I have always understood that swearing was taking the name of the Almighty in vain ? '' `` Well , it is n't -- ahem -- refined , '' said the doctor , winking at Miss Oliver .
