Kate arose and went out into the corridor, where she found Ogden waiting. "He has fallen asleep," she said. "I want you to undress him, and get him into bed properly, while I go and prepare a saline draught. I am afraid he is going to be very ill." She passed on, and ran down stairs to her father's study, where the medicine-chest stood.
