Master Lister In Stricken State After Night of Illness
The scene shows Mr. Lister in a frail condition following a troubling night. Smithers reports the illness worsened and a doctor prescribes strict rest. Miss Lister’s awareness is implied, while the text notes Mr. Lister should remain at home for quiet recovery.
A Sudden Crash At A Cold Night Ball
