Bethberry left to ply her trade as healer in the far East and so she would have taken with her the various herbal remedies which she had prepared--at least those that would keep. She did leave some of her goods and herbs with Ruthven, to ease the old woman's infirmities. But it's not like Ruthven can run likkety-split to help on the spot. And she isn't a healer.
Women's folk medicine was an art learnt by apprenticeship. Maybe you'll just have to wing it? Or would Edoras have a midwife who could be called upon? Hmm. One Trotula, Dame Trot, the midwife, called upon because the barber-surgeon is out of town?

I never thought to hear you in such a D.H. Lawrence mood. Lawrence of course one wrote: "I would like to be a tree for a while."
