I know it, she exclaimed, with the same unnatural hollowness of voice which had startled Amy before:

We will not say there is no hope, replied Dr Bailey, kindly, yet gravely.

It is better to know the worst at once, said Mr Harrington.
human

gpt
I fear not, was the reply.
human
There is apparently some internal mischief. But of course I will do everything that lies in my power; and I shall hope to return here very early in the morning, when I shall be better able to judge of the case from the effect of the medicines I have ordered.
gpt
Do you think she will know us again?
human
It is probable she may, replied Dr Bailey.
gpt
The fever will most probably diminish; and the pain she is suffering may, I think, be soothed by opiates.

No one could look at that sweet child without feeling that to be the means of restoring her would be more than a sufficient recompense for the greatest exertions. If it were not that I have a still more urgent case requiring my presence, nothing would induce me to go. But I have no immediate fear for your poor little girl; there is not likely to be any great change for several hours; and you must remember she may rally after all.
