Nora was still awake.
'Are you feeling any better, dear ?' he said.
'Yes, I'm ever so much better since I've been in bed, but I can't help worrying about your clothes.

I'm afraid they'll never be dry enough for you to put on the first thing in the morning.

Couldn't you stay at home till after breakfast, just for once ?' 'No; I mustn't do that.

If I did Hunter would probably tell me to stay away altogether.

I believe he would be glad of an excuse to get rid of another full-price man just now.' 'But if it's raining like this in the morning, you'll be wet through before you get there.' 'It's no good worrying about that dear: besides, I can wear this old coat that I have no now, over the other.' 'And if you wrap your old shoes in some paper, and take them with you, you can take off your wet boots as soon as you get to the place.' 'Yes, all right,' responded Owen.
