SYNOPSIS Dr. John Wolfe, old Dr. Montague Threadgold's assistant, is stunned at the unsanitary conditions he finds in the smug little town of Navestock. Wolfe realizes his greatest fight in ridding the town of pollution will be in overcoming the resentful attitude of the people themselves who seem perfectly satisfied with their mode of living. He encounters his first obstacle in the person of Jasper Turrell, the brewer, who objects to Wolfe taking a sample of his well water for analysis. Undaunted by opposition,! Wolfe continues his researches and i prepares a map of the town's un- • sanitary areas. The one bright spot I in Navestock is the home of Mrs. Mary Mascall where Wolfe is always sure of a welcome. He is exceptionally fond of Mrs. Ma«call’s young daughter. Jess. Wolfe is summoned to the home of elderly Miss Perfrement. who feigns heart attacks to attract attention. Sue >s annoyed when Wolfe docs not humor her and tells her there is no cause for alarm. Later. Dr. Threadgold insists that Wolfe be more tactful. Wolfe realizes it is to Threadgold's financial benefit to humor the lady. The blundering old man cautions Wolfe against using ko much "expensive” medicines when the “ordinary” preparations will do. Wolfes disgust with the abounding ignorance reaches its peak when he finds three babies in the care of Mrs. Lucy Gallop drugged from a “cordial” given as a pacifier. He censures Hubbard, the chemist, for selling it. Hubbard complains to old Threadgold who criticizes Wolfe. Later, Wolfe meets Jess coming from school. CHAPTER SEVENTEEN “Miss Plimley has packed you off early to-day.” “Oh, has she! I have just been putting old Plimley in her place.” Jess smiled up at him, her eyes glittering over some vivid adventure, some feminine onset that had been carried through to victory. “What, have you had a battle?” “Rather!” “With Miss Plimley — the Miss Plimley?” “I never was afraid of the old crow.” “Oh, come now!” Wolfe dismounted and walked betide her under the beech trees. He knew that Jess Mascall went three days a week to Miss Plimley’s establishment for young ladies at High Elms, and that Bob Munday drove down to meet her with the pony cart. Miss Plimley had been “finishing” Jess, though it appeared from what she told him that Jess had finished Miss Plimley. Jess’s French was quaint and impulsively original, and a certain gift for caricature had put an end to her drawing lessons, though no one ever discovered who drew the famous sketch that was found pinned on the blackboard, a sketch that had represented Miss Plimley, in bridal attire, dragging the Rev. Charlie Clipperton to the altar at the end of a string. Miss Plimley had never urged an investigation. She was a dapper and decisive little woman, with, a nose whose bones looked as though they were wearing through the skin. Wolfe knew her very slightly. He could imagine her giving mua i e lessons, rapping her pupils* knuckles, and counting “one —two—three,” the words snapping out like notes from a guitar. Jess and Miss Plimley in conflict would be something epic. “You had a difference of opinion?” Jess lifted her chin and laughed. "1 have dismissed Miss Plimley.” “Dismissed her! Bravo.” “Plimley’s a snob You should see hei with those Dudeny girla. Pah! •he was rude to me to-day I’ve been waiting for her for a long while. We have a reading class,

■ you know; wretched stuff—MacauI lay and Cowper, and all that. She • put me on to read to-day, and we 1 fell out over a word.” “One little word!” “It was like this. Mother always says ’cruwnatiou’ for coronation. i It’s her way, and it’s as good as any other way. So I read “crownation,' i just to see what Plimley would say. • “ ‘Cor-o-na-tion. Miss Mascallj only vulgar people say crownation.' “That made me cross, because I Mother says it, and she isn’t vulgar. “I said, ‘My mother calls it crow- • nation.’ “She said, 'No person of educai tion pronounces the word so’,” Wolfe’s eyes glimmered. I “That was tactless. And you?” "I got up, and put my books away, and I said. “Miss Plimley, . my mother is not a person, and she > pays your fees.’ . “Then there was that thunder- . storm. t “Plimley splittered Do you know i people who splitter? She said, ‘Miss . Jessica Mascall —’ but I got in 1 first.” 1 “One from the shoulder?” ; “I said. ‘Miss Plimley, 1 have no s further need of your services. Good f afternoon’ ” “I say, that was good!” “Wasn’t it! I haven’t felt so well . this year.” s She looked It, too. with a gleam i of audacity in her eyes, fine frank j eyes that made some of her more ,1 sentimental school-fellows foresee e for her all manner of romances. J Little Rose Steyning, who scribbled r verses in old sermon books of her a father’s, would hold to Jess and i, utter admiringly: “Jess has such s wonderful eyes.” And they were h the more wonderful because Jess y Mascall made no cunning use of - them. r She broke out into impetuous e confidences. g “Old people are always talking s to young people about manners, d but why should we say nothing when old people are rude to us? i- Does being very old make us important, and able to say the nas1. tiest thing that we please? I like ’’ to take people like 1 take dogs and horses. I'm not afraid of them, and e that’s everything.” 1 Wolfe looked at her thoughtfully, e ‘Most of us—when we grow up g are so shy and so afraid cf stari, ing too hard at someone else’s

crooked legs that we play a game of peep-bo round corners.” “You don’t.” “Thank you!” "1 shouldn’t think you were ever afraid of anything. That’s why ’ like you.

Wolfe understood the hu man significance of the spirit cf ' V tl ry ‘ WaS the bowin l? down of the man before cleanliness, beauty, and truth. „f“?Zn y 0” L Wou!dn ’‘ fhink much of a fellow who met a savage dog in a lane, and slunk round by another way?” Her eyes met Wolfe's. “No, I shouldn’t.” “No: that’s right.” They had passed from under the beech trees, and down the wet. sunht road came Bob Munday in the Moor Farm pony -cart. The bov had away of staring wonderingly at Jess. He would have jumped mto i ,he K™' d »<* Pond if she had so much as hinted that it would please her. 1 Hallo, here’s Bob. 1 must be riding on. or 1 shall not be back bv surgery hours.” Dy ■ He looked down at her gravely.
