The words seem kind, do they not? and yet taking this money jars every nerve in my body. When I find that I can live on bread and water without it, I will have no more of it. But to do without it now would be for the man who cannot swim to throw off his life-belt. I had plenty of time on my way to Birchespool to reflect upon my prospects and present situation.
Mrs. La Force gave me her card, and I promised to call if ever I should be in Birchespool. However, all this must be stupid enough to you. You know my little ways by this time, and you don't expect me to keep on the main line of my story. However, I am back on the rails now, and I shall try to remain there.
One foggy, drizzling morning they returned to Birchespool, for the next day would re-open the session, and Professor Ainslie Grey prided himself upon having never once in his life failed to appear in his lecture-room at the very stroke of the hour. Miss Ada Grey welcomed them with a constrained cordiality, and handed over the keys of office to the new mistress. Mrs.

What awful things lurk at the corners of Life's highway, ready to pounce upon us as we pass! And so you really are going a-voyaging! Well, I won't write again until I hear that you are back from the Islands, and then I hope to have something a little more cheery to talk about. XVI. OAKLEY VILLAS, BIRCHESPOOL, 4th November, 1884. I face my study window as I write, Bertie.

The object of his visit was to invite me to dinner, and the object of the dinner to inaugurate my starting in practice. If I were the kind old fellow's son he could not take a deeper interest in me and my prospects. "By , Dr. Munro, sir," said he, "I've asked every man in Birchespool that's got anything the matter with him. You'll have the lot as patients within a week.
