"As if it could please you to come where death and suffering are! I will find some one; if not, I can stay up."
"I will come, if you can trust me, after last night's errors."
"You look like one to be trusted."
"I am glad you think so. Are my services accepted?"
"Gratefully, if you'll promise one thing."
"Ask it."
"Sleep until I send for you."
"I can't promise."
"You'll try?"
"Perhaps"; and I went back to the parsonage.
