Making his customary inquiries in the forenoon at Mr. Farnaby's door, he found the household in a state of agitation. A second council of physicians had been held, in consequence of the appearance of some alarming symptoms in the case of the patient.
In the second place, just look at yourself in the glass there. Do you think the servants will let you in, when you knock at Farnaby's door?

The driver turned into the street in which Mr. Farnaby's house was situated. Mrs. Farnaby stopped him, and got out at some little distance from the door.
Ronald has left to his daughter; and I shall know for certain whether Mrs. Farnaby's husband has any power over it, or not." "Well?" said Phoebe, not much interested so far "and what then?"
