Hurry! make all possible haste!" Solon was turning to obey, but stopped, exclaiming, "Why, sho' anuff, dar's de doctah hisself just lightin' off his hoss ober yondah!" "Then run and bring him here." Arthur obeyed the summons with all speed.

The alarm of the fire had reached Roselands, and he had hastened to the spot to give aid in extinguishing it, or to any who might be injured.
He found the captain showing signs of life; he moved his head, then opened his eyes.
"Where are you hurt, sir ?" asked the doctor.
"Not very seriously anywhere, I trust," replied the captain, trying to rise.

"Ah!" as he fell back again, "both back and ankle seem to have had a wrench.

My injuries can wait." "Little or nothing more can be done there, and there are people enough on the ground now to leave us free to attend to you," said Mr.Dinsmore.
The doctor was speaking aside to Donald and Solon.
Coming back, "We will have a litter ready in a few moments," he said, "and carry you over to Ion." "By all means," said Mr.Dinsmore.

"You accompany us, of course, Arthur ?" "Certainly, sir." "How is she--the old negress?

No one could tell him, and he begged the doctor to attend to her while the litter was preparing.
