Where's Mammy, eh ?" Nestorius turned gravely round and pointed a small dusky finger in the direction of the servants' quarters.

Then he replaced the finger between his lips and came slowly forward to examine Meredith, who had opened his eyes.
"Well, stout Nestorius.

This is a bad case, is it not ?" said the sick man.
"Bad case," repeated Nestorius mechanically.
At that moment Marie came into the room, dignified, gentle, self-possessed.
"Ah, missis," said Joseph, "I'm glad to see you.

You're wanted badly, and that's the truth.

Mr.Meredith's not at all well." Marie bowed gravely.
