Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Macmillan's Magazine, Vol. 58: May, 1888, to October, 1888
It was Dr. Lavergne who at length enlightened her as to the true nature of her malady. The Doctor had heard from his wife, who had heard from Chris herself, all that could be safely told about Val Richardson, and he knew that the girl was well rid of a bad bargain. Also he was acquainted with the episodes attendant upon her ?ight to Paris for of these she made no secret. Now, with such facts before him, and with certain well known and unmistakable symptoms staring him in the face, Dr. Lavergne had made a diagnosis of her case which he ?attered himself was substantially accurate. Only he could not prescribe a remedy, because, for one thing, he did not believe in prescriptions of any kind, and for another, he needed some further information before he could even suggest a possible cure.
Therefore, while she was helping him to tie up his roses one afternoon, he said abruptly: Mademoiselle, you are worrying yourself, and that is an extremely foolish thing to do. People who worry themselves become pre maturely wrinkled.
