It cured your sprain after you had tried everything else , did n't it ? '' `` Yes . But I do n't see the connection . '' `` It is n't necessary that you should . Well , what with your sprain and my rheumatics I think I can manage it . '' `` Look here , Prue . Are you sure that long brooding over our troubles up in the garret has n't turned your brain ?

The Melvilles are a very old family . The name dates back to the Norman conquest when a certain Roger de Melville , who was an ancestor of ours , went over to England with William the Conqueror .
