DOCTOR

Hannah’s with her, you know. I told you I didn’t want anybody up there but Jane and Hannah.

ELLA

But we’re her own daughters.

DOCTOR

You don’t have to tell me, I brought both of you into the world. The right nursing might pull her through, even now; nothing else can, and I’ve got the two women I want. (He crosses to Henry at stove) Why don’t you put a little wood on the fire?

HENRY

Why—I thought ’twas warm enough.

ELLA

Because you was standin’ in front of it gettin’ all the heat.
