The population of Dunchester, it is true, is smaller by over five thousand souls, and many of those who survive are not so good-looking as they were, but the gap is easily filled and pock-marks are not hereditary.

It was from a well-known firm of solicitors in Dunchester, and ran: "Our client, Mrs. Strong, died suddenly at three o'clock. Important that we should see you. Will you be in Dunchester to-morrow? If not, please say where and at what hour we can wait upon you in town." "Wait upon you in town," I said to myself as I laid down the telegram.
Selling his Dunchester practice for what it would fetch to his assistant, Dr. Bell, my father came to Madeira whither, I scarcely know why, I have also drifted now that all is over for me for here he hoped to be able to earn a living by doctoring the English visitors.

A fortnight later Emma and I came to Dunchester and took up our abode in a quaint red-brick house of the Queen Anne period, which we hired for a not extravagant rent of 80 pounds a year.
Nor could I remain a member of the House, at least not for long. Still, by dint of borrowing and the mortgage of some property which I had acquired, I kept my head above water for about eighteen months. Very soon, however, my financial distress became known, with the result that I was no longer so cordially received as I had been either in Dunchester or in London.
