Jeremiah was still in bed.\u003cbr\u003eClosing the door carefully behind him and turning the key, Captain\u003cbr\u003eAblewhite drew a chair to the side of the bed and sat down.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This is a bad business,\" said Captain Ablewhite.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJeremiah was in a parlous condition. His face was haggard; his eyes were\u003cbr\u003ebloodshot; he was shaking like a man in a palsy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This is a bad business,\" repeated Captain Ablewhite, \"You are too much\u003cbr\u003eupset to reply. But why, oh, _why_ have you lost your head?\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJeremiah put his hand up, feebly and despairingly, and passed it\u003cbr\u003evacantly over his forehead.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"I have here,\" said Captain Ablewhite, plunging his hands into the\u003cbr\u003epockets of his gorgeous dressing-gown, \"a pick-me-up. It will pull you\u003cbr\u003eround, and then we can talk.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe produced two bottles--one containing the pick-me-up, the other soda.\u003cbr\u003eTaking a large tumbler from a table he poured a good dose of the\u003cbr\u003epick-me-up into it, and then uncorked the soda, which he emptied into\u003cbr\u003ethe glass.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Drink this.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJeremiah drank it, and almost instantly became for a while\u003cbr\u003eclear-brained.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Better?\" asked Captain Ablewhite.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A great deal better,\" replied Jeremiah.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThen, for the third time, the jovial Captain--he was as fresh as a\u003cbr\u003etwo-year-old--said, \"This is a bad business.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd still, clear-headed as he now was, Jeremiah did not know what to say\u003cbr\u003ein answer to a very plain statement of fact.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Let me see,\" said Captain Ablewhite, taking out his pocket-book.\u003cbr\u003e\"There is nothing like looking a difficulty straight in the face. It is\u003cbr\u003enot a bit of good shirking it. What you've got to do is to meet it--and,\u003cbr\u003eMr. Jeremiah Pamflett, meet it you must. Now, then, for the facts. You\u003cbr\u003ebrought down with you to Doncaster a very comfortable sum of ready\u003cbr\u003emoney. How much?\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Two thousand pounds,\" replied Jeremiah.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47080367849712,"sku":"2940014738385","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014738385_p0.jpg?v=1763615022","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014738385","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
