'' `` I do n't -- know . A little pain -- it 's gone now . Did you say that Christopher has -- the smallpox ? '' `` Well , he says so himself , and it 's more than likely , considering the circumstances . I declare , I never got such a turn in my life . It 's a dreadful thing . I must find Charles at once -- there 'll be a hundred things to do . '' Eunice hardly heard her . Her mind was centered upon one idea . Christopher was ill -- alone -- she must go to him . It did not matter what his disease was . When Caroline came in from her breathless expedition to the barn , she found Eunice standing by the table , with her hat and shawl on , tying up a parcel . `` Eunice ! Where on earth are you going ? '' `` Over home , '' said Eunice . `` If Christopher is going to be ill he must be nursed , and I 'm the one to do it .
