"Undoubtedly," said the doctor, with a solemn nod. "And is this all?" asked Valentine hopelessly. "My dear sir, what else can I say?" said the doctor; "as my good friend Mr.
I have heard him called Dowager Doddleson; and I believe he is very popular among hypochondriac old ladies who have more money than they know what to do with, and very little common sense to regulate their disposal of it." "Is Dr. Doddleson a man to whom you would intrust the life of your dearest friend?" "Most emphatically no!" cried the surgeon, growing red with excitement. "Very well, Mr.
