Read the passage.

When mother's fever persisted for a week, father

summoned our family doctor. Dr. Blakemore applied

leeches to mother's skin in hopes of reducing the amount

of blood in her body. Despite the doctor's efforts, she

languished in bed for three more days before her appetite

returned and she requested a thin broth. Our dear cook,

Mrs. Davis, prepared the broth and delivered it to my

mother directly, eager to ease her discomfort.
