Doddleson, on that physician's visits to Miss Halliday. Mrs. Sheldon had been present on each occasion, and to Mrs. Sheldon alone had the physician given utterance to his opinion of the case. That opinion, though expressed with a certain amount of professional dignity, amounted to very little.
Upwards of a week had gone by since the return of Mr. Sheldon and his family from Harold's Hill: and as yet Philip Sheldon knew not what the issue of events was to be. Very vague were the oracular sentences which his questioning extorted from Dr. Jedd, and he had tried in vain to obtain a tete-a-tete interview with Dr. Doddleson.
Burkham, gravely; "a very great mistake! Dr. Doddleson lives in a fine square, and drives a fine carriage, and has a reputation amongst the class I have spoken of; but he is about the last man I would consult as to the health of any one dear to me." "That is precisely the opinion which I formed after ten minutes' conversation with him. Now, what I want from you, Mr.
Every day he came to spend one too brief hour with his dear love; every day he greeted her with the same fond smile, and beguiled her with the same hopeful talk. He brought her new books and flowers, and any foolish trifle which he fancied might beguile her thoughts from the contemplation of that mysterious malady which seemed beyond the reach of science and Dr. Doddleson.
"Will you see the doctor when he comes, and manage matters so as not to alarm Charlotte?" he asked of Mr. Sheldon. That gentleman agreed to do so, and went out into the little front-garden to lie in wait for the great Doddleson "Dowager Doddleson" as he was surnamed by some irreverent unbelievers. A St. Leonards fly brought the doctor while the bells were still ringing for morning service. Mr.
I am not satisfied as to the medical treatment your stepdaughter has received in this house, Mr. Sheldon, and I want to be satisfied. Miss Halliday is something more than your, stepdaughter, remember: she is my promised wife. Dr. Jedd's opinion will be more assuring to me than the opinion of Dr. Doddleson." At the sound of Dr. Jedd's name Mr. Sheldon started slightly.
"What of that, if she grows worse? The doctor should see her daily, hourly, if necessary. And if he cannot cure her, another doctor should be sent for. Good heavens, Diana! are we to let her fade and sink from us before our eyes? I will go back to London at once, and bring that man Doddleson down by the night mail." "Your going back to London would grieve and alarm Charlotte.
The physician wished the two men good evening, and returned to his carriage, to be driven home to dinner by way of Plantagenet Square, where he saw Dr. Doddleson, and appointed to meet him next day, much to the delight of that individual, who was proud to be engaged in a case with the great Jedd. Valentine left the house on the heels of the Doctor.
"No," replied Valentine; "according to Dr. Doddleson there is actually no disease nothing but this extreme prostration this gradual vanishing of vital power. And now I come to another point upon which I want your advice. It has been suggested that this constitutional weakness may be inherited; and here I think you can help me." "How so?" "You attended the lady's father." "Indeed!" cried Mr.
"His position is a sufficient answer to that question." "Will you let me telegraph for him this afternoon immediately?" "You cannot telegraph from this place." "No, but from St. Leonards I can. Do you think I am afraid of a five-mile walk?" "But why send for Dr. Doddleson? The treatment he prescribed is the treatment we are now following to the letter.
