| I recalled my wits sufficiently to ask whether he had an eyestone, and if he had, whether he would lend it to us. |
| Halstead's eye was so much inflamed that we had no little trouble in getting the eyestone under the lid. |
| Meanwhile a neighbor, Mrs. Wilbur, suggested putting an eyestone into Halstead's eye to get out the irritating substance. |
| He gave me a little glass vial half full of some liquid and told me to drop the eyestone into it when I should get it. |
| Anxious to try anything that might relieve Halstead's suffering, the old Squire sent me to borrow the eyestone. |
| The woman, whose sty had been cured, opened a drawer and took out the eyestone, carefully wrapped in a piece of linen cloth. |
