But I said I did not feel like doing anything but just to stay at home and rest quietly with her . -LRB- Which was the truth -- I _ did n't _ feel like doing _ anything else _ ! -RRB- But that almost made matters worse than ever , for she said that was so totally unlike me that she was afraid I must be sick ; and I had all I could do to keep her from calling a doctor . -LSB- Illustration : THEN I TOLD HIM MY IDEA -RSB- But I did it ; and at five minutes before ten she was sitting quietly sewing in her own room .

Then I went upstairs and told Mother there was some one downstairs who wanted to see her .
