He said, telling the simple truth, that life at Dunailin was unutterably dull, and that he welcomed war would have welcomed worse things for the sake of escaping a monotony which was becoming intolerable. The army authorities accepted Dr. Farelly.
Farelly, standing on his doorstep with his pipe in his mouth, looked up and down the street. He was more than ever convinced that it might be very difficult to get a doctor to go to Dunailin, and still harder to get one to stay. The town lay, to all appearance, asleep under the blaze of the noonday August sun.
