Feel sick?
gpt
Pretty well,
human
Like a light, and a glass to see your face?
gpt
Eh? No, I cried, as I recalled all that had taken place.
human
Does it look very bad?
gpt
Not half so bad as it will to-morrow, said Mr Frewen, coolly.
human
You had a tidy fight then, you two?
gpt
Oh yes; don't talk about it, please, sir. He made me feel so wild after I found out that he was only shamming.
human
Humph! Well, don't let Miss Denning see you. If you had been knocked about like this in a struggle with those scoundrels under the hatch you would have won her sympathy; but a lad who goes and indulges in fisticuffs till his face looks like a muffin which has tumbled into the slop-basin, can't show himself in ladies' society till he has grown well.
gpt
Oh, I say, Mr Frewen!
human
It's a fact,
gpt
But can't you put some stuff on it to make it look better?
human
No, nothing, he said coolly.
gpt
I only know of one thing that will help you out of your difficulty,
human
Yes, I said.
gpt
What?
human
You must wait till we have another fight with the men forward, and then if you get knocked about, all those bruises will go to the same account.
