It seems we shall have our work cut out for us then, now that he is not a child so easily corralled.
But think nothing of it; his illness is partially my doing. I had brought him to the shore yesterday and the water ran rather colder than he expected. Mayhap I should have cautioned him further, but there is little for it now.
If he put his mind to enjoying himself, I imagine there was very little you could have done to dissuade him. I would say he might learn from this, but I know better. All we can do now is keep the worst at bay.
But I shall leave him in your care for the time being then. Pray tell if there is aught else I should keep an eye out for while I am at market. I should return within an hour or two at most to aid you.

I'll watch him.
If you plan to get any vegetables, you needn't purchase any carrots.

Is he usually difficult to mind in illness?

Thank you, Dion. Truly.
When he was a child it wasn't impossible to keep him abed, but he has always been rather willful. Where his body may lack, his spirit prevails.
