“Please, sir, I do.”
“You do! Is there no one else in the house?”
“No, sir.”
“Is Miss Baker in bed?”
“No, sir. She said she would get up a little while this afternoon, 'cause she said she thought you was coming.”
“Go and tell her I am here.”
“Please, sir, she said you was to go upstairs—the back room on the second floor, please.”
“Come in.”
“I am so sorry you are ill, Lizzie. What is the matter?”
“I don't know; I think I caught a severe chill. I stayed out very late on the beach.”
