Oh, Ranty, something has happened! what is it? I could not go asleep after Pet left, and I felt sure something was going to happen. Where's Ray?

Well, then--Ray's got hurt pretty badly, and Pet's gone for the doctor. Now don't go crying, or making a time, but light a candle, and kindle a fire, and get some linen bandages and things; they're always wanted when wounds are dressed. That's a good girl--worth your weight in gold not to speak of diamonds. Hurry up!
