"You might send your boy for a carriage," said the doctor, who was engaged in removing Mrs. Stiles's shoe.

Into the little, old-world bar, with its loud-ticking clock, its Windsor-chairs, and its cracked jug full of roses, he brought a breath of the bustle of the great city and tales of the great cities beyond the seas.
