Some time previously Major Jen had asked Etwald about the devil-stick, but only to be informed that the doctor knew nothing of the missing article.

He's not like other men, and there aren't any other men on earth but him! All the rest are just nowhere. And I'm not anything myself.

He paused a moment till the silence was perfect and then he said, with a pretense of reading a notice from a sheet of paper: "We saw Hannah Ann and Henry on Saturday and got all the news about the place from them. Major had the colic one night, but Hannah Ann saved him with a quart of homeopathic pills," laughed Miriam. "Everything looked just as natural as life when we drove by this morning. They'll be mighty glad to see you all when you go back.".
