GRANDMOTHER

Come in an' shut the door—it's a cold that gets in your bones. (She goes in)

MRS. HOLROYD

Perhaps while he's in bed we shall have time to change him. It's an ill wind brings no good. He'll happen be a better man.

GRANDMOTHER

Well, you can but try. Many a woman's thought the same.

MRS. HOLROYD

Oh, dear, I wish somebody would come. He's never been hurt since we were married.
