He got it bad, said a friend of McPhail's;
gpt
You don't mean to say he's going to die!

I doubt if you can,
human
Is he very bad?
gpt
Very bad indeed, she replied;

I was there and I heard that the Black Watch were called up.
human
Do you mean to say he's going to die?

He's too ill to see any one, and I doubt if he would know you.
gpt
I am sure he would like to see me, said Tom pleadingly;
human
Well, I shall have to speak to the doctor, was the nurse's reply.

Will you wait here? I won't be long before I'm back.
