His face, usually pink with health, had gone the colour of tallow. Grey lips. Grey eyelids. Even his tiny fingernails looked drained of blood.  \nThree streets she'd run, her arms burning, her breath coming in ragged gasps.  \nPast the rag-and-bone man calling his wares. Past the women scrubbing steps, their gossip pausing as she flew by.  \nPast Mrs. Halloran's door, where yesterday she'd heard something troubling—the docker's wife mentioning her husband felt poorly, could not seem to shake it off.  \nAt the corner of Drury Lane, a carter's horse blocked her path, the beast standing sideways across the narrow street while its owner adjusted the harness.  \n\"Move!\" Mary's voice cracked. \"Please, I need—\"  \nThe man glanced at the bundle in her arms, at the greyish tinge visible even in the fog, and something flickered across his face. Fear, perhaps. Or recognition. He yanked the horse aside without a word.  \nShe ran.  \nThe apothecary's door stuck—swollen from the damp—and Mary had to shoulder it twice before it gave way with a screech of hinges. The shop's familiar smell hit her: dried lavender, camphor, the bitter tang of tinctures.  \nBut beneath it, something else. The stale sweat of sickness. Vomit, poorly cleaned.  \n\"Please!\" Her voice came out strangled. \"Please, he won't stop — his lips are grey, his skin's gone cold—\"  \nBut Mr. Grieves was not behind his counter. His apprentice, a boy no older than fourteen, was sweeping the floor with mechanical movements, the broom scraping across the same spot again and again. He looked up slowly, as though pulling himself from deep water.  \n\"Mr. Grieves is upstairs, missus. Can't keep nothing down. Says his head's pounding fit to split.\"  \nThe boy set the broom aside, his movements careful, exhausted. \"Started two days back. Just woke up poorly.\"  \n\"But he'll have something—medicine, a tonic—\"  \n\"He's tried 'em all on himself already.\" The apprentice's voice was flat.  \n\"Nothing helps. And it ain't just him neither. The seamstress three doors down, she's the same.
