About this book

Avery is a work by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps. A speaker who calls herself Mother tells Pink that she cannot lift her, and asks Molly to take the baby, saying that when he screams so it makes it harder to breathe. The speaker tells Kate she will have to manage without her this morning, and to order a grouse for Mr. Avery, who says he will dine at home to-night.

Dr. Thorne insists on knowing what caused this attack, which happened since breakfast, and asks whether it is physical, mental or emotional. Jean Avery answers, with her own lovable smile, half mischief, half pathos, that it may be called electric. In one scene, the mate cries out that they have struck and that she is stove in, and the owner replies coolly to get the boats over.
