Georgy proposed the visit to Newhall that evening, while the two girls were strolling listlessly in the dusky garden, and Mr. Sheldon most decidedly rejected the proposition. "If she wants change of air and Dr. Doddleson recommended nothing of the kind Newhall is not the place for her." "Why not, dear?" "It is too cold. Northerly aspect no shelter three hundred feet above York minster."
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?"
Burkham; my dearest friend, a young lady well, in plain truth, the woman who was to have been my wife, and whom I love as it is not the lot of every plighted wife to be loved this dear girl has been wasting away for the last two or three months under the influence of an inscrutable malady, and Dr. Doddleson is the only man called to attend her in all that time." "A mistake!" said Mr.
"Yes, dear, with God's help. I am glad he has brought you here. And now I must run away," he said; when he had placed Charlotte in Mr. Sheldon's arm-chair, "for a very little while, darling. I have seen a doctor, a man in whom I have more confidence than I have in Dr. Doddleson. I am going to fetch him, my dearest," he added tenderly, as he felt the feeble hand cling to his; "I shall not be long.
"For God's sake tell me the truth, Dr. Doddleson!" said Valentine in a low hoarse voice, directly they were beyond ear-shot of the house. "I am a man, and I can steel myself to hear the worst you can tell." "But really, Hawkehurst, there is no occasion for this kind of thing," interjected Philip Sheldon; "Dr. Doddleson agrees with me, that the case is one of extreme languor, and no more."
The poor girl had great expectations, and would have come into a very fine fortune if she had lived a year or two longer." "Ha! dear me, how very unfortunate! Poor young lady!" "Jedd and Doddleson you know them by repute, of course have been attending her for the last six weeks. There will be no end of expense for me; and it has been all of no use." "Consumption, I suppose?"
He went round to the front of the house directly the droning had ceased, and was in the way when Dr. Doddleson and Mr. Sheldon came out of the rose-hung porch. "If you have no objection," he said to Mr. Sheldon, "I should like to ask Dr. Doddleson a few questions." "I have no objection," replied the stockbroker; "but it is really altogether such an unusual thing, and I doubt if Dr.
But my own little efforts in the dramatic line were not successful, and I found myself compelled to devote myself more to my profession. And now I have said quite enough about myself; let me hear how I can be useful to you." "In the first place, let me ask you a question. Do you know anything of a certain Dr. Doddleson?" "Of Plantagenet Square?" "Yes; of Plantagenet Square." "Well, not much.
Of course I am well aware that Mr. Sheldon would not have consulted the young man if he had not thought him clever; but I could lay my head upon my pillow at night with a clearer conscience if poor Tom's doctor had been an older and more experienced person. Now, that's what I like about Dr. Doddleson. There's a gravity a weight about a man of that age which inspires one with immediate confidence.
He has seen the dilatation of the pupil even that old fool Doddleson saw it and has taken fright. But no jury in England would hang a man on such evidence as that; or if a jury could be found to put the rope round a man's neck, the British public and the British press would be pretty sure to get the rope taken off again." "Chloric aether, spirits of ammonia hum, ha, hum yes," muttered Dr.
