Chapter one, Sunday, March 24th, 18 72 sky splitting thunder cracked like canisters firing from the £12 cannons. As drenching rain cascaded in blinding sheets onto two physicians picking their way through muddled Virginia clay to the front stoop of a modest home on Loudon Street. When they stepped onto the porch, a young woman with 20 skin and a warm tired looking eyes, glassy and red opened a door. She's upstairs said Del Lann beg the housemaid as she threw open the door. As she invited them into the house, the house was stale with sickness. The sour smell of the vomit and lie intermingled with sweetness of damp ash from a dwindling fire. Wind gusts howled overhead and rumbled down the chimney, sparking embers to glow and crackle Delhi took their coats and hats and directed them to the narrow stairs that led to the child's room. Not 12 hours ago when doctor Randolph Randy Moore had walked into the small room at the top of the stairs. Little Maude Lloyd had been sitting up against the headboard playing with a new bisque doll that she had flamed was her birthday present. Her blue eyes had been alert and she told him that both her tummy and her dolly were feeling much better though. She was pale and weakened from nearly three days of Persian. He'd been confident that she would recover the porcelain doll now laid near the foot of the bed, its fair hair disheveled and its wide eyes cast vacantly at the ceiling like the doll Maude's flaxen hair was tangled and her eyes were half open Staring upward. He was having trouble believing this to be the same child. Her skin was pallid. The lids of her eyes dark and sunk deep in their socket. She grasped for air between parted pasty lips just like her older sister, Annie who had died the month before dread washed over him.
