She will be all right now, I think, Vita, said Miss Beckwith.
gpt
She just had a spell of hysteria, didn't she?
human
Oh, she have a fit very bad, whispered the woman.
gpt
I run for doctor, quick, but he is no place----
human
Why was she shut up there?
gpt
She beg for dark--she never go in light when fit comes, Vita managed to make them understand.
human
I always hide her--she runs from Nick like anything. But he no hurt her, never. Just one time he scare her. She always cry so much he t'ink she might get better, and he scare her. Lucia run away and come to Vita, every time.
gpt
He didn't really hurt her, Miss Beckwith was both asking Vita and explaining to the girls.
human
Hysterical children must have a dread of something, and I suppose she seized on that.
gpt
She's all right now, aren't you, Lucia?
human
Lovely, replied the child, actually rubbing her brown hand on the soft couch cover almost as if she were saying,
gpt
Nice! Nice!
human
There come Cousin Jerry and Cousin Ted! exclaimed Nora.
gpt
I'll bring them right up.
human
What Mrs. Jerry say?
gpt
Oh, that will be all right, Vita, said Nora, running along.
human
She'll understand everything.
gpt
Well, what a reception! exclaimed the surprised Ted.
human
I never expected such a party as this. Her eyes fell upon Lucia.
gpt
A refugee?
human
Vita's little girl, Cousin Ted, said Nora, promptly.
gpt
We found her--sick.
human
She is in good hands now, I am sure, said Mrs. Manton, glancing around at the patrol.
gpt
We were detained with our fractious car--should have been home ages ago. Did you need anything? Have you had a doctor?
human
She seemed merely hysterical, explained Becky.
gpt
I don't think she needs a doctor tonight. She will probably sleep well after the excitement--and exhaustion,
human
Well, of all things, exclaimed Mrs. Manton, suddenly getting a good look at Nora.
gpt
Have you been having a masquerade?
human
A little Scout party, Miss Beckwith replied, to save Nora embarrassment.
gpt
This has been an eventful evening.
human
Must have been, agreed the hostess.
gpt
Shall we all go down and leave the child to rest?
human
assured the leader.
gpt
It is not ten o'clock, I hope?
human
No, and we'll run you over in our car--if the car will run. Mr. Manton is out tinkering with it. That's how he missed the excitement,
