The driver closed the carriage, and as Pip left Douglas followed.  First paying the driver, of course.  He avoided the mess that Pip had left behind as he ran to catch up with her.  "I care because I cannae stand for people to be 'urt by those with more power and that 'ave nae way tae defend self.  That day at the library the way the social snobs acting like that make me angry.  Sae, I wanted tae 'elp yu then, but my 'elp then would 'ave only made things worse."

He continued to walk with her, keeping an eye on her to be sure he was ready in case she fainted again.  "Then now yu work for my friend.  Yu've 'ad a rough time of life of late from what I am seeing all the more than even before.  I would nae see that 'appen tae anyone if I can 'elp.   With yu I think I could, if yu would allow it."  He stated.  "Yu are ill, throwing up like that and fainting, lass, please let get yu tae the doctor."  He pleaded with true concern.
