Doctor! she cried, in dismay.
gpt
You haven't sent for a doctor?
human
Yes, I have, answered Mr. Bragg, dismayed in his turn by her evident distress.
gpt
I couldn't do less. You might have been dying for anything I knew. You don't know how bad you looked!
human
But I don't want a doctor. I'm quite well. I only want to go on. I want to go on to Granny.
gpt
You came by the slow down, didn't you? Ah, well, there's no passenger train going on that way before eleven-five to-night,
human
Don't cry! Don't fret! exclaimed Mr. Bragg.
gpt
You shall be in Oldchester within an hour if the medical man says you're able to travel. I'll speak to the station-master at once. Only we _must_ hear what the doctor says, mustn't we? I dursn't run a risk, now durst I? You see that yourself. You're what you might call laid on my conscience to take care of. Good Lord, will this fool of a fellow never come back? I told him to drive as fast as he could pelt.
human
I'm _not_ ill, indeed,
gpt
But, my dear young lady, people don't faint dead away like that, and look so white and ghastly, without there's _something_ the matter. It wasn't the news I told you upset you like that, surely?
human
No; of course not. I think it was because I--I had had no dinner.
gpt
Lord bless me! cried Mr. Bragg.
human
Why, you're starving! _That's_ what it is, then!
