I--I feel sick. I must get out into the air.
gpt
Here, I'll help you to the bed and open the window, he said.
human
Never smoked before? Well, don't be discouraged; I was deathly sick first time myself.
gpt
I'm half blind and awfully sick, groaned Max, as he stretched himself on the bed.
human
Does it last long? can a fellow get over it without taking any medicine?
gpt
Oh, yes; you'll be all right after a little.
human
Think you can get down with the help of my arm?
gpt
Don't b'lieve he kin, Marse Ralph, remarked the servant, gazing earnestly at Max.
human
What's de mattah wid de young gentleman? He's white as de wall, and his eyes looks like glass.
gpt
Hush, Sam! you'll frighten him, whispered Ralph.
human
Run down and ask my brother Arthur to come up. Don't let anybody else hear you.
gpt
Oh, but I'm sick, and how my heart beats! he said.
human
I can't possibly sit up, much less walk down-stairs. What will Mamma Vi and the rest say? I'm afraid Grandpa Dinsmore will be very angry with me.
gpt
He hasn't any right to be, said Ralph;

gpt
Tell him it isn't dangerous. Art, laughed Ralph,
human
No, I'm not! protested Max indignantly,
gpt
How many cigars have you smoked?
human
Only half a one, said Ralph;
gpt
The best place for it, said Arthur.
human
Don't be alarmed, my boy, the sickness and all the other bad effects will pass off after a while; all the sooner if you are breathing pure air. Ralph, open the door into the hall and the one opposite. Then ring for Sam to kindle a fire in that room.
