Well, remember back home how folks was always coming over to our place to let Granny doctor them?

Yeah.

Remember how happy you'd meet Granny?

Yeah, especially if one of them got better.

Yeah, right.

Folks out here got city doctors, and they don't need Granny.

And she misses her something terrible.

You reckon that's why she's been so down in the mouth here lately?

Don't you know your pa is sick?

Yes, ma'am, Granny.

But don't worry, they won't catch nothing.

Get him out of here!

Get him out!

Gesso, you go get me a mud gobbler's nest.

Some rich weed, some dog bays and stump water, and dry beetles and some lizard eggs.

I got doctoring to do.

I mean, uh... Come in.

Paul?

Oh, I'm terribly worried.

You've never been sick before.
