Mr. Bill, what do you mean? This is rather late to pay calls.
gpt
O, lady, it is not a call. I came to tell you that serious trouble has come to dear Fowl Farm,
human
I hope it is not as serious as you think; but what is it?
gpt
My dear madam, a tramp came to our house and stole Stuffie, Highhead, Longlegs, and Bigfoot. Dear lady, he may come here, so please send out to see if he has left the farm.
human
How is the lady this morning?
gpt
Worse!
human
Is there anything I can do?
gpt
Yes, go for Doctor Fixit. She won't hear of a doctor coming, but----
human
What do you think, doctor?
gpt
My dear madam, she has been worked up and is very badly off. She must be kept very quiet. Those powders I left on the table must be taken the last thing before going to bed and the first thing in the morning. She must eat nothing. Make her some beef tea.
human
How often must she take that?
gpt
Every four hours. If she wants it break up a cracker in it. Good morning; I will see you in the afternoon.
