Professor. I would like to believe it, my dear—It would make a great difference to my state of health. When you saw it, didn’t it upset you?
Elfrida. No!
Professor. It didn’t frighten you?
Elfrida. No! Why?
Professor. Not even when you ran after it?
Elfrida. Why, no! Of course it ran, too. But it was quite nice about it.
Professor. Was it, indeed?
Elfrida. It made a noise at me—just like a bird—a nice bird.
Professor. Did it say “Sick, sick, sick, sick?”
Elfrida. No; it only went “Chewee! Chewee!”—just like that!
