"One afternoon at six, when Dulcie was sticking her hat-pin within an eighth of an inch of her medulla oblongata, she said to her chum, Sadie--the girl that waits on you with her left side:..."
She's doing brain surgery without a license! Within an
eighth of an inch of pithing herself. No, I'm not lisping.

base of the skull. Sounds like that's what Dulcie is doing.
Committing suicide rather than lose her hat!
