Mr. Thurnall wishes Lord Scoutbush to be informed at once, and I think it is better that you should all know it--that--it is a painful surprise:--but there is a man ill in the street, whose symptoms he does not like, he says.
human
Cholera?
gpt
Call him in,
human
He had rather not come in, he says.
gpt
What! is it infectious?
human
Certainly not, if it be cholera, but--
gpt
He don't wish to frighten people, quite right: (with a half glance at Elsley;)
human
I fear so.
gpt
Oh, my children!
human
Will five pounds help the poor fellow?
gpt
How far off is it?
human
Unpleasantly near. I was going to advise you to move at once.
gpt
You hear what they are saying?
human
Yes, I hear it,
gpt
You will go instantly, of course?
human
Of course I shall. Good-bye! Do not be afraid. It is not infectious.
gpt
Afraid? And a soldier's sister?
