text:  Mr. Jeff. Matthew. Thank heaven you was home, sir. I came as soon as I heard. How's my wife? Better this evening, sir. She's sitting in there by the fire. Help me with my coat, will you, Matthew? Yes, sir. Will you be staying here at Monticello now, Mr. Jeff? Through Christmas anyway, and after that, as long as I can. I'm glad, sir. Tom. Patty. Oh, Patty, darling. Tom. Patty, my dearest. How are you? Better, I think.
