In this committee there was a vigorous debate on a motion by Ralph Izard to report a bill prohibiting slave importations for three years. John Rutledge opposed it.
"Good-evening, sir," he said, and silently thought, "Now, what can Smith Izard possibly want with me?" It may have been perfectly natural that this man's presence shed off all idea of medical consultation; but why should it instantly bring to the Doctor's mind, as an answer to his question, another man as different from this one as water from fire?
Knox, fat, amiable, and always popular, although sadly inflated by their new social importance, were mountains of finery.
