If you don't mind waitin' another ten minutes, the worst o' this 'll be over, an' then I can leave 'Lizabeth to it, and go upstairs with you.' 'Is she conscious at present ?' 'She was, a little while ago.

It is the nights is worst, of course.
Last night she talked an' talked: it's easy to see she has some trouble on her mind.

I haven't got nobody as can sit with her when we have the shop full.

But I was with her up to three o'clock this morning; then 'Lizabeth took my place till the shop was opened for the early corfee.
I don't think she's no worse, and the doctor he don't think so.
