"What would you have, Monseigneur?" said the director. "That is the thought which occurred to me." "In case of epidemics,-we have had the typhus fever this year we had the sweating sickness two years ago, and a hundred patients at times,-we know not what to do." "And then, when there is a ray of sun, the garden is very small for the convalescents." "The halls are nothing but rooms, and it is with difficulty that the air can be changed in them." "The beds," pursued the director, "are very much crowded against each other." "That was the number which I counted," said the Bishop. "Monsieur the director of the hospital," said he to him, "how many sick people have you at the present moment?" The visit ended, he had the director requested to be so good as to come to his house. Three days after his arrival, the Bishop visited the hospital. The hospital was a low and narrow building of a single story, with a small garden.
