Wake up, do you hear?
Wake up and swallow this stuff! There! You've got it.

Now swallow--do you hear ?--swallow!" He held the spoon between Tommy's lips till it was emptied of every drop; then thrust it back at Ralston.
"Here take it! Pour out some more! Now, Tommy lad, it's up to you! Swallow it like a dear fellow! Yes, you can if you try.

Give your mind to it! Pull up, boy, pull up! play the damn game! Don't go back on me! Ah, you didn't know I was here, did you?
Thought you'd slope while my back was turned.

You weren't quick enough, my lad.

You've got to come back." There was a strange note of passion in his voice.
