There was a couch where the poisoned man could be laid.  Tabuitha (OOC - and
Pamela?) prepared it, even as Oswald and Hodges, assisted by Warren (and
Michael?) carried Marty Fitroy upstairs.

As he was laid down on the sofa, it became apparent that he was in a very
bad way indeed - in a coma, it appeared, and failing rapidly.

Hodges assisted Oswald in lifting Fitzroy from the tub.  "Get the door, 
lad."  Hodges nodded at Philip, seeing as how the young man was looking for 
a way to help.  Hodges huffed a bit at lifting Fitzroy's bulk, but a body 
used to a lifetime of blue collar work was sturdy.  "Up we go..."  Hodges 
grunted, then got a look at Fitzroy as the men lay him down.  "He doesn't 
look good, does he...?"

"Marty!"  It was a shriek from the doorway where Esme had appeared with 
Vangie behind her.  "What happened?"
