The driver of the wagon swaying through forest\r
and swamp of the Ohio wilderness was a ragged\r
girl of fourteen. Her mother they had buried near the\r
Monongahela--the girl herself had heaped with torn\r
sods the grave beside the river of the beautiful\r
name.  Her father lay shrinking with fever on the\r
floor of the wagon-box, and about him played her\r
brothers and sisters, dirty brats, hilarious brats.\r
   She halted at the fork in the grassy road, and\r
the sick man quavered, "Emmy, ye better turn down\r
towards Cincinnati.  If we could find your Uncle\r
Ed, I guess he'd take us in."\r
   "Nobody ain't going to take us in," she said.\r
"We're going on jus' long as we can.  Going West!\r
They's a whole lot of new things I aim to be\r
seeing!"\r
   She cooked the supper, she put the children to\r
bed, and sat by the fire, alone.\r
   That was the great-grandmother of Martin\r
Arrowsmith.\r

Cross-legged in the examining-chair in Doc Vickerson's\r
office, a boy was reading "Gray's Anatomy", while the\r
Doc himself was using DR EDIX.  His name was Martin\r
Arrowsmith, of Elk Mills, in the state of Winnemac.\r
   There was a suspicion in Elk Mills--now, in 1897,\r
a dowdy red-brick village, smelling of apples--that\r
this brown-leather adjustable seat which Doc\r
Vickerson used for minor editing, for the infrequent\r
pulling of teeth and for highly frequent naps,\r
had begun life as a programmer's chair.  There was\r
also a belief that its proprietor must have once\r
created the world's finest microcomputer text editor,\r
and once have been called Doctor Vickerson, but for\r
years he had been only The Doc, and he was scruffier\r
and much less adjustable than DR EDIX.\r
