She was fully enabled now to do so, for Dr Fillgrave was already reinstalled at Greshamsbury as her medical adviser. One other short visit did Frank pay to Boxall Hill, and one interview had he with Dr Thorne.
The epistle to which Lester referred as received from Walter, was one written on the day of his escape from Mr. Pertinax Fillgrave, a short note, rather than letter, which ran as follows. I am just about to recommence my journey, but not towards London; on the contrary, northward. "I have, partly through the information of your old friend Mr.
Now the truth is this, that another bout of drinking will in all probability kill you; and any recourse to stimulus in your present condition may do so." "I'll send for Fillgrave " "Well, send for Fillgrave, only do it at once. Believe me at any rate in this, that whatever you do, you should do at once. Oblige me in this; let Lady Scatcherd take away that brandy bottle till Dr Fillgrave comes."
So eager had been the attack on him, that he had not waited to give his order about the post-chaise, but made his way at once towards the hall. "Now, do 'ee take it, do 'ee," pressed Lady Scatcherd. "Utterly out of the question," said Dr Fillgrave, with great deliberation, as he backed his way into the hall.
Thorne must have known what was to be done. Having been so called, Dr Fillgrave had come had come all the way in a post-chaise had been refused admittance to the sick man's room, on the plea that the sick man was no longer sick; and just as he was about to retire fee-less for the want of the fee was not the less a grievance from the fact of its having been tendered and refused fee-less, dishonoured, and in dudgeon, he encountered this other doctor this very rival whom he had been sent to supplant; he encountered him in the very act of going to the sick man's room.
Dr Fillgrave still continued his visits to Greshamsbury, for Lady Arabella had not yet mustered the courage necessary for swallowing her pride and sending once more for Dr Thorne. Nothing pleased Dr Fillgrave more than those visits. He habitually attended grander families, and richer people; but then, he had attended them habitually.
"I shall be happy to see you if you like to come, of course; that is, in the way of visiting, and that sort of thing. As for doctoring, if I want any I shall send for Fillgrave." Such were his last words as the carriage, with a rush, went off from the door. The doctor, as he re-entered the house, could not avoid smiling, for he thought of Dr Fillgrave's last patient at Boxall Hill.
Pertinax Fillgrave had rushed from his house, and placed himself on the road, that the poor creature might not, at least, be buried without his assistance. So eager was he to begin, that he scarce suffered the unfortunate Walter to be taken within, before he whipped out his instruments, and set to work with the smack of an amateur.
But we must be careful, very careful; I am glad I've had Century here, very; but there's nothing to alter; little or nothing." There were but few words spoken between Dr Century and the squire; but few as they were, they frightened Mr Gresham. When Dr Fillgrave came down the grand stairs, a servant waited at the bottom to ask him also to go to the squire.
"The brain, you see, clean gone and not a particle of coating left to the stomach; and yet what a struggle he makes an interesting case, isn't it?" "It's very sad to see such an intellect so destroyed." "Very sad, very sad indeed. How Fillgrave would have liked to have seen this case. He is a clever man, is Fillgrave in his way, you know." "I'm sure he is," said Dr Thorne.
