Mr.Langenau's shoulder was dislocated, badly, and it must be set at once.

It was a painful operation and he needed help.

I was within hearing of this, and I was in great alarm.

Sophie looked so too, and I don't think she liked disagreeable things any better than her brother, but she was a woman, and could not shirk them as he could.
"Pauline," she said, finding me at her side as she turned, "run up and tell Richard that he must come down, quick.

Tell him how it is, and that he must make haste." I ran up the stairs breathlessly, but feeling all the time that it was rather hard that I must be sent to Richard with this message.
