Great Regulars: But then the doctor's fate took an unhealthy turn,

when "one night, Minerva, the poetess,/Came to [him] in her trouble, crying." He attempted to "help her out," but "she died."

In the first poem of the series, the reader had learned that Minerva had gone to Doctor Meyers after becoming impregnated with "Butch" Weldy's child; Minerva reports that she died after treatment by Doctor Meyers.
