She seems to be well, and we can bundle her up warmly.

There may, after all, be serious results from this exposure, and it is best that we should have her where we can give her every care." And drawing the hood from his pocket he fixed it upon Dollie's head.

"It's a long distance to the village, and I will be glad if you will let me carry her." He made as if he simply wished to assist the superintendent.

"I shall be glad to have your aid; you have had a rest for several days, and a little exercise like this won't hurt you." Hugh brought forth his best coat and gathered it around Dollie, as if he was tucking her up in her trundle bed.
