Mrs. Scutts?

We have come to see your husband, said the intruder.

I am a doctor.

He-he's asleep,

Doesn't matter,
gpt
Not a bit,

You--you can't see him, protested Mrs. Scutts.
gpt
He ain't to be seen.

He'd be sorry to miss me, said the doctor, eyeing her keenly as she stood on guard by the inner door.
gpt
I suppose he's at home?

Of course, said Mrs. Scutts, stammering and flushing.
gpt
Why, the pore man can't stir from his bed.
human
Well, I'll just peep in at the door, then, said the doctor.
gpt
I won't wake him. You can't object to that. If you do--
human
I'll go up and see whether he's awake,
