"I beg your pardon, Mrs. Randolph? "
"How long will it be before he is better?"
"I cannot say that. Any excitement or disturbance would much delay it. Let him hear nothing and see nothing except you, and some attendant that he is accustomed to."
"Oh, doctor, can't you stay till he is better?"
"I will return again very soon, Mrs. Randolph. There is nothing to be done at present for which I am needed."
"But you will come back as soon as you can?"
"Certainly!"
"And oh, Dr. Sandford, cannot you take Daisy away?"
"Where is she?"
"I don't know she is not come home. Do take her away!"
