Come in, I heard in quite a squeak; and then as I opened the door--
gpt
Is that Doctor Frewen?
human
No, sir, I replied.
gpt
I've come to ask you to get up and come on deck.
human
On deck! Is there any danger?
gpt
Oh no, I replied;
human
Too ill, too much prostrated,
gpt
Captain Berriman said something about seeing to your fish, sir.
human
My fish! Ah, yes; you shall look at them for me.
gpt
But it really is nice and fresh on deck, sir.
human
Yes, for you.
gpt
And it seems to be doing Mr Denning and his sister ever so much good.
human
Miss--They are not on deck? he said eagerly.
gpt
What, Mr and Miss Denning?
human
Yes, I said, looking at him wonderingly, for he appeared to be so excited.
gpt
Oh yes; he's sitting up there, looking at the sea, and his sister's standing by his chair.
human
Would--would you mind helping me on with a few of my things, Mr Dale? he said hurriedly, as he began to creep out of his berth.
gpt
It's so awkward dressing when the ship sways about so. It makes me feel giddy.
human
Oh yes; I'll help you,
gpt
Thank you; it's very kind of you. The captain is quite right, and I'm not doing what I ought about those fish. I will go and see to them. So much time and expense was devoted to--oh, my gracious!
