"Dreda, am I heavy? Does it tire you to hold me? I've read that people get cramped sitting in one position--that it hurts like a real pain. Oh, Dreda, but it can't be like my pain! Something terrible has happened to my leg. It is broken--or fractured. You can't imagine how it feels. The least movement seems to stab through my whole body. Even if you _do_ get cramped, Dreda, will you promise me to sit still--not to move or shake me until some one comes?"
