Is there anything we can do for you, Tommy?
gpt
No, thank you, I guess not, answered the other.
human
I'm all right now, and I don't believe I'll take cold.
gpt
What did you punch me for in there?
human
I didn't want you to talk so much about a doctor. I guess they haven't any money to pay one.
gpt
No, I guess they haven't.
human
But what's the matter with my paying for one to make a visit? asked Harry.
gpt
Dad gave me some money to spend when I came on this visit, and I have most of it left. You've been doing all the treating. And you gave Tommy that suit; so I want to pay for a doctor's visit.
human
We'll ask mother about it, said Bert.
gpt
I guess it would be better to have a doctor see Mrs. Todd.
human
But you will not need to, she said.
gpt
There are physicians paid by the city to visit the poor. But I think we will have our own Dr. Young call and see her. The city physicians have enough to do in the Winter when there is so much illness. I'll send Dr. Young, and pay him myself.

But what she needs, most of all, he said,
gpt
Then I'll look after her, said Mrs. Bobbsey.
human
I belong to a club, the ladies of which are glad to help the poor. We will make Mrs. Todd our special case. I'll see what we can do about getting her into a better house, too. She is a very good woman and Mr. Bobbsey says he never had a better errand boy than Tommy.
