A Daughter of Erin,
gpt
I have bad news for you, Anthony,
human
Not very bad, I trust, mother?
gpt
It is about your poor Uncle Wilton. I did not bother you with it till you had had your dinner. He is ill.
human
Ill? What's the matter with him?
gpt
A very serious collapse, I'm afraid. The last letter said he was unconscious. You'll have to go to him, Anthony, I suppose.
human
His state is not dangerous? Surely not, or you would not have delayed about telling me?
gpt
There is no immediate fear, said Lady Jane coldly.
human
I have only known of his illness a few days. If you had not been coming, I should have wired to you, of course. But since you were coming, I didn't see the use of it. The doctor said that everything was being done.
gpt
Poor old Uncle Wilton. He is alone and ill, then?
human
He is always alone, so I do not see that that fact adds anything to his being ill.
gpt
Of course, I must go to him. I didn't want to, though. Not just now.
