She will get through, she said.
gpt
They think she will certainly get through.
human
Thank God! oh, thank God! he cried.
gpt
Where is Jack?
human
Upstairs. They let him see her for a moment. He will be down again immediately. But they could not save both Kit and the child, Toby.
gpt
Oh, Lily, what a difference five hours can make! he observed with that grasp of the obvious which distinguished him.
human
By the way, I met someone when I was out.
gpt
Whom?
human
Him. I went home to see if there were any letters for either of us--oh, there were two for you; catch hold--and as I came out I found him on the doorstep.
gpt
What had he come for?
human
I didn't ask him. But I know what he went for. Spread-eagle on the pavement. All in his beautiful clothes. And the hansom went over his hat; damned neat it was. Oh, Lily, that made me feel better, and I felt, too, it was a good omen. I wish you had been there. You would have roared.
gpt
Toby, you are a barbarian! What good does that do?
human
What that sort of a man wants is pain,
gpt
Was he much hurt?
human
I don't know. I hope so. I hope he was very much hurt.
gpt
Do you mean you left him lying there?
human
Yes. He may be there now.
gpt
Then please have him taken away before I get back, she said.
human
Ah, here's Jack!
