The doctor took him gently from Hester, gave him food, and laid him down.
"He is all right," he said.

"He will sleep all day." Mr.Gresley, who had hardly stirred, hid his face in his hands.
"Don't try to move, Miss Hester," said Doctor Brown, gently.
Hester did not try.

She could not.

Her hands and face were rigid.

She looked at him in terror.
