These are bad burns, said the physician, looking up at the wide-eyed crowd.
gpt
And I believe he is hurt internally. Where did he come from?
human
This gal brought him in her car, Doc,
gpt
Who is he?
human
I don't know--oh, yes! I remember! He said his name was Billson.
gpt
Jeffers-pelters! ejaculated the storekeeper.
human
I'd never ha' knowed him. His whiskers is burned off, that's a fac'.
gpt
Then you know all about him, Carey?
human
Not much! not much! exclaimed the storekeeper, hastily.
gpt
He's jest a squatter. Come from one of the lower counties, I b'lieve. Holler-chested. Bad lungs, he said. Goin' to live in the open an' cure 'em.
human
He ought to go to the hospital at once,
gpt
I can take him, said Hester, quietly.
human
He's a very brave man, I believe. He warned all the people through the section back of Tentorville----
gpt
I guess you druv the car, Miss,
human
But I should have driven it home in a hurry after finding him on the road without knowing anything about the people in danger, said the girl, honestly.
gpt
He did it.
human
No matter who did it. I want to get him to the hospital. I'll go to Centerport with him, Miss, if you'll take us.
gpt
Of course,
human
You know him, Carey, said the doctor, turning to the storekeeper.
gpt
Can I use your name at the hospital in Centerport?
human
No, you can't, said the other, quickly.
gpt
I can't stand no 'nearest friend' game for a man that never spent fo' bits a week in my store for groceries. No. I dunno him.
human
We'll stand sponsor for him, sir, said Hester, hastily.
gpt
Come on. You'll have to tell me how to drive. I don't know these roads very well.
human
What's your name, Miss?
gpt
Henry Grimes's gal, eh? he said.
human
Well, he's well able to be sponsor for this poor fellow. Drive on.
