AWAE | THE NEW CUTHBERT season one - episode six » remorse is the poison of life « " playing doctor "
samantha opened her eyes, looking around at the dark room. worried and panicked voices were heard from down the hall, and samantha hurriedly put on her slippers and wrapped her robe around herself as she opened the door of her room.
the girl peaked out down the hall, seeing a light coming from anne's room. she walked down and saw diana, wrapped in a shall. her hair was disheveled and her dress was crumpled. "diana? anne? what's wrong?"
"what's wrong with minnie may?" anne asked diana, ignoring samantha's questions.
"i don't know. she's choking and coughing. it's horrible!" she cried.
"croup." anne said, realizing what was wrong. "we need the doctor. matthew! matthew, come quick!"
samantha ran out of the room, banging on her uncle's bedroom door. "matthew, help!" she called, before going into her own room and grabbing a coat from her closet.
"aunt josephine is staying with us, but she doesn't know what to do. she's never seen a cough like this." samantha hardly heard what diana was saying as she walked back into the room.
"i have." anne says.
"put this on before you freeze." she said, handing her the coat. "your skin is like ice." diana smiled kindly, taking the coat and putting it on.
matthew walked into the room, worry striking his face. anne quickly started to explain to him the situation. "matthew, ride into carmody and fetch the doctor. minnie may is gravely ill. we'll go home with diana." anne put on her boots as she spoke. "we'll meet you there." he nodded and walked out of the room.
"oh, anne. she's fearfully sick. she can scarcely breathe." diana exclaimed, samantha pulling in for a hug.
"i'll fetch the ipecac before we go." samantha said, walking towards the bathroom for the medicine.
"matthew won't be back for hours. we will do everything we can until then." anne said, grabbing diana's hand and rushing her downstairs.

anne walked over to the two by the window with a pot of boiling water, as samantha examined the bottle of ipecac. "lean her over. make sure she's right above the steam. we have to loosen the phlegm that's choking her."
the girl coughed like crazy, and samantha felt a twinge of guilt in her heart. the cough and wheezing caused the memory of her father's sickness to flash into her mind. she closed her eyes and sighed, before opening them, glancing at anne and shaking the bottle a little, signifying they were almost out.
