Do you know Ballingall's house in the West town end ?" "Ballingall who has the little school ?" "The same, but I doubt he'll keep school no longer." "Is he dying ?" "I'm afraid there's no doubt of it.

Will you go ?" "I should love to go," she cried.
"Love!" he echoed, looking at her with displeasure.

"You can't love to go, so talk no more nonsense, but go, and I'll give you a bawbee." "I don't want a bawbee," she said.

"Do you think they will let me go in to see Ballingall ?" The doctor frowned.

"What makes you want to see a dying man ?" he demanded.
"I should just love to see him!" she exclaimed, and she added determinedly, "I won't give up the bottle until they let me in." He thought her an unpleasant, morbid girl, but "that is no affair of mine," he said shrugging his shoulders, and he gave her the bottle to deliver.
