Send Miss Symes to me,
gpt
The doctor's last opinion, please, Miss Symes?
human
Dr. Ashley says that Betty is much the same. The question now is how to keep up her strength. He thinks it better to have two specialists from London, as, if she continues in such intense excitement, further complications may arise.
gpt
Do you know where Betty's sisters are?
human
I haven't seen them for some time, but I will find out where they are.
gpt
As soon as ever you find them, send them straight to me. I shall be here for the present.

Fanny, a fresh bedroom has been prepared for you, and I shall be glad if you will go and spend the rest of this day there. I do not feel capable of speaking to you at present. As to you, Sibyl, your conduct has been bad enough; but at the eleventh hour--and, we may hope, in time--you have made restitution. You may, therefore, rejoin the girls of the lower school.
gpt
Of the lower school?
human
Yes. Your punishment is that you return to the lower school for at least a year, until you are more capable of guiding your own conduct, and less likely to be influenced by the wicked passions of girls who have had more experience than yourself. You can go to your room also for the present, and to-morrow morning you will resume your duties in the lower school.
