Excerpt from Tonic Bitters, Vol. 2: A Novel It was well for Effie that she had not long to brood over her new sorrow. At the end of May Walter began to sicken with the whooping-cough, and soon every other thought was swallowed up in anxiety about the children. Walter, always delicate, was very seriously ill, and even the strong Davie, and merry little Freddie were speedily prostrated. Effie had the entire charge of these three, for when the baby of a year old was attacked Hannah was fully occupied with her. After a month of wakeful nights and anxious days all fears for the boys were at an end, but little Bessie was still in a precarious state, and Isabel, who had been the last to take the cough, and had been attacked by it with less violence than the others, did not regain her strength as they did.
