    Summary

    “ I-ahem,” He clears his throat and starts again, “ I heard you’re in the business of cures, ma’am. I think I could use one,” Taking a deep breath, Rae can hear mucous rattling in his throat.

    She has to ask, “ Is it consumption?”

    Rae sees him flinch, then draw his shoulders up around his ears when he snaps back. “ How am I supposed to know that?” He holds back another cough, asks, “ Could you tell me, look at me and tell me if it is? I’ve got nothing for a doctor.”

    “ I’ll do my best. No promises the news is good, sir, but I might be able to tell.” Rae waits for him to take off the scarf, unwinding it from about his long, thin neck and hawkish nose.
