Such of the practice of Dunchester as was worth having soon fell into his hands, and few indeed were the guineas that slipped out of his fingers into the pocket of a poorer brother. Also, he had a large consulting connection in the county.
And so I flourished, and as I waxed he waned, until, calculating my chances with my wife, I was able to prophesy that if no accident or ill-chance occurred to stop me, within another three years I should be the leading practitioner in Dunchester, while Sir John Bell would occupy the second place.
As Jane had taken a fancy to the house, which was large and roomy, with beautiful gardens, I let my old home in the city, and when we were not in town we came to live at Ashfields. On the borders of the Ashfields estate indeed, part of the land upon which it was built belongs to it lies a poor suburb of Dunchester occupied by workmen and their families.

"The news this morning is uncommonly bad. Four more men joined the League here a whole series of League meetings in Yorkshire! half the important newspapers gone over or neutral and a perfectly scandalous speech from the Bishop of Dunchester!" "I thought we should hear of Dunchester before long," said the Professor, with a sarcastic lip. "Anything that annoys his brethren has his constant support.

Now, what do you think I have come to see you about?" "Can't say. I give it up." "Then I will tell you.
