Doddleson's instructions are carefully obeyed, and " "Is this Dr. Doddleson competent to grapple with the case?" asked Valentine; "I never heard of him as a great man." "That fact proves how little you know of the medical profession." "I know nothing of it; I have had no need for doctors in my life. And you think this Dr. Doddleson really clever?"
What is this?" he asked of Valentine Hawkehurst. "I told you I was not satisfied with Dr. Doddleson's opinion," answered the young man coolly. "This gentleman is here by appointment with me." "And pray by what right do you bring a doctor of your own choosing to visit my stepdaughter without previous consultation with me?" "By the right of my love for her.
It will be easy to arrange that with the doctor before he sees her." "As you please, Mr. Hawkehurst," the stockbroker replied coldly. "I consider such a visit to the last degree unnecessary; but if Dr. Doddleson's coming can give you any satisfaction, by all means let him come.

Philip Sheldon drew a long breath. "What!" he exclaimed; "do you doubt Doddleson's skill?" "Do you believe in it? Do you? No; I cannot think that a man of your keen perception in all other matters half a medical man yourself can be the dupe of so shallow an impostor.

He looked for Dr. Doddleson's name in the Directory, and took comfort from the fact of that physician's residence in a fashionable West End square.
