Are you sure you're not hurt ?" Linda stood before them, a lithe slender figure, vivid with youth and vitality. "I am able to stand," she said, "so of course I haven't broken any bones.

"I'm sure I am all right," answered Linda.

"Yourself or the specimen ?" "Why, the specimen!" answered Linda in impatience.
