You think he will come round?
gpt
He will come round, the doctor said confidently;
human
Lie quiet for a little while, my dear sir, the doctor said cheerfully;
gpt
How was it?
human
We don't know, the Doctor said;
gpt
I never did such a thing before, he said.
human
I was reading here in the library----
gpt
Don't agitate yourself, my dear sir, the Doctor said soothingly,
human
Where is the woman who was speaking to me?
gpt
She is outside, the Doctor said.
human
I told her to wait. But you really must not see her for a time.
gpt
I am all right now, Captain Bayley said, rising to his elbow,
human
he said, to Alice,
gpt
he said, seeing the physician was preparing to leave;
human
Oh! I know, Alice exclaimed,
gpt
Frank told me the story. She had told him about a woman who had fallen down at her door years ago, and how she had brought up the child. But O uncle! she said pitifully,
human
I have a sad thing to tell you. Frank said that he was such a nice boy, so clever and good. Frank used to go and help him with his books, and he can read Latin and all sorts of things; but, uncle, he met with an accident when he was little, and he is a cripple.

The question you wished to ask me, Captain Bayley said,
human
Lor', sir! Mrs. Holl exclaimed,
gpt
Who, indeed, Captain Bayley repeated;
human
That is it, Captain Bayley said, with a sigh.
gpt
Alice, go to my desk, open the inner compartment, and there you will see the fellow to it.
human
There, you see, Doctor, they are exactly alike. They were both made at the same time, soon after I returned from India, and now, Mrs. Holl, please tell us the whole story as I understand you told it to my nephew.
gpt
God bless you! Captain Bayley said, when she finished.
human
No words can tell how grateful I am to you, or how deeply I am moved at the thought of the kindness which you and your husband, strangers as you were to her, showed to my poor girl. I hope you will not mind sparing him to me now; your claims are far greater than mine, but you have other children, while I, with the exception of my ward here, am alone in the world.

Lor', sir, Mrs. Holl said, wiping her eyes with her apron,
human
Mind! Captain Bayley exclaimed,
