'Does he suffer very much, Mr. Rollo?'
'I don't think he minds that part of it; no, I left him in comparative comfort. I think his trouble is about you. And he ought to have come here!—but people don't always know what they ought to do. I am going down there again presently to look after him and make sure that Gotham understands bandages.
'Gotham thinks he understands everything.'
'I'll just make sure on that point. Have you any commands before I go?'
'No, thank you,' she said, with just the lightest shade of hesitation, 'I think not.'
'Reconsider that, and give me my orders.'
'No—truly!' Hazel answered, looking up at him. How busy the thoughts were.
'I am going to Reo's first. Have you any commands there?' But she shook her head.
'No, Mr. Rollo, not any.'
He went off; and there was an interval somewhat quiet and untalkative between the two girls. Later, Rollo came back, reported both patients doing well, and carried Prim home with him.
