"Come here," he said, with a certain peremptoriness. "Give me your hand." She wiped her brown old hand backwards and forwards across her apron; then gave it to him. It was hot and dry. "Your cold is feverish," he said. "You must go to bed, and stay there till the fever has passed." "I cannot go to bed, Signorino," she replied. "Can't you? Have you tried?" asked he.

Hamilton begged me to take Gladys to the turret-room and persuade her to lie down. 'I am going to send Cunliffe away until dinner-time, he said, with a sort of good-natured peremptoriness: 'under the circumstances he is decidedly de trop.
