This little conversation took place after Mr Rerechild's first visit to his patient: what steps were immediately taken for the relief of the sufferer we need not describe. They were doubtless well intended, and were, perhaps, as well adapted to stave off the coming evil day as any that Dr Fillgrave, or even the great Sir Omicron Pie might have used. And then Dr Thorne arrived.
Rerechild's new lights had taught him to recommend. Miss Thorne looked awfully severe. "Take care, my dear," said she, "that the man knows what he's about; take care he doesn't destroy your little boy. But" and she softened into sorrow, as she said it, and spoke more in pity than in anger "but I don't know who there is in Barchester now that you can trust. Poor dear old Doctor Bumpwell, indeed "
It had not been ordered by Mr Rerechild, the Barchester doctor whom she employed; and then the young mother mentioned some shockingly modern succedaneum, which Mr Rerechild's new lights had taught him to recommend. Miss Thorne looked awfully severe. 'Take care, my dear, said she, 'that the man knows what he is about; take care he doesn't destroy your little boy.
