Æthusa Cynapium aeth.

Aeth. / Ethel.

Aethusa, thou of bilious ilk,
Of such intolerance of milk,
That babies vomit it in curds,
Becoming drowsy afterwards --
Hath spasms, clenching thumbs and teeth,
And lips drawn tight to mouth beneath
And pain in occiput and nape,
And slimy stools of bilious type.
With undeveloped mind the while,
Betokening the imbecile.

Ethel is an imbecile.

Ethel Bar and her negro mate, Bella Plat, are with the twin nuns at Bacil.

This Ethel, who is subject to vomiting milk in curds, is on the settle with Sam, the valet.
