I beg your pardon, sir, but does Mr. Askern say Tulliver will be lame?
gpt
Oh no, oh no, said Mr. Stelling;
human
Did he tell Tulliver so, sir, do you think?
gpt
No; nothing was said to him on the subject.
human
Then I may go and tell him, sir?
gpt
Yes, to be sure. Now you mention it, I dare say he may be troubling about that. Go to his bedroom, but be very quiet.
human
Will Tulliver be lame? It will be very hard for him if he is.
gpt
Mr. Askern says you'll soon be all right again, Tulliver; did you know? he said, rather timidly, as he stepped gently up to Tom's bed.
human
I've just been to ask Mr. Stelling, and he says you'll walk as well as ever again, by-and-by.
