Just think how nice it will be to see all the organs in their places ; I only wish they could be made to work as ours do . '' It was funny to see Aunt Myra 's face as Rose stood before her talking rapidly with one hand laid in the friendliest manner on the skeleton 's shoulder . Every word both the Doctor and Rose uttered hit the good lady in her weakest spot , and as she looked and listened a long array of bottles and pill-boxes rose up before her , reproaching her with the `` ignorance and want of thought '' that made her what she was , a nervous , dyspeptic , unhappy old woman . `` Well , I do n't know but you may be right , Alec , only I would n't carry it too far . Women do n't need much of this sort of knowledge , and are not fit for it . I could n't bear to touch that ugly thing , and it gives me the creeps to hear about ` organs , ' '' said Aunt Myra , with a sigh and her hand on her side . `` Would n't it be a comfort to know that your liver was on the right side , auntie , and not on the left ! '' asked Rose with a naughty laugh in her eyes , for she had lately learnt that Aunt Myra 's liver complaint was not in the proper place . `` It 's a dying world , child , and it do n't much matter where the pain is , for sooner or later we all drop off and are seen no more , '' was Aunt Myra 's cheerful reply . `` Well , I intend to know what kills me if I can , and meantime , I 'm going to enjoy myself in spite of a dying world . I wish you 'd do so too , and come and study with uncle , it would do you good , I 'm sure , '' and Rose went back to counting vertebrae with such a happy face , that Aunt Myra had not the heart to say a word to dampen her ardour . `` Perhaps it 's as well to let her do what she likes the little while she is with us . But pray be careful of her , Alec , and not allow her to overwork , '' she whispered as she went out . `` That 's exactly what I 'm trying to do , ma'am , and rather a hard job I find it , '' he added , as he shut the door , for the dear aunts were dreadfully in his way sometimes . Half an hour later came another interruption in the shape of Mac , who announced his arrival by the brief but elegant remark , `` Hullo ! what new game is this ? '' Rose explained , Mac gave a long whistle of surprise , and then took a promenade round the skeleton , observing gravely , `` Brother Bones looks very jolly , but I ca n't say much for his beauty . '' `` You must n't make fun of him , for he 's a good old fellow , and you 'd be just as ugly if your flesh was off , '' said Rose , defending her new friend with warmth . `` I dare say , so I 'll keep my flesh on , thank you . You are so busy you ca n't read to a fellow , I suppose ? ''
asked Mac , whose XXXXX were better , but still too weak for books .
