Chapter XII
“I need hardly say that so far as the dog is concerned, I regret, and I am truly sorry for what has occurred.” “Sir, do you not see what a state I am in; do not stand there making excuses, but lend me your handkerchief. I shall bleed to death if you don't.” “Shall I tie it up for you?” “If those girls there would only fetch a doctor.”
