"Frumpton seized him by both shoulders, and pushing him out of the house, exclaimed, 'Success, by G , he shall never have, if I can help it!
He of course confirmed her ladyship in her opinion; for a week d d nerves and Sir Amyas; threw in desperate doses of calomel for another month, reduced the poor child to what the maid called an attomy, and still the inflammation increased. Lady Spilsbury desired a consultation of physicians, but Dr. Frumpton would not consult with Sir Amyas, nor would Sir Amyas consult with Dr. Frumpton.
"Frumpton, delighted with the story of the made shell, and conceiving me to be the enemy of his enemy, resolved, as he declared, to take me by the hand; and, such is the magical deception of self-love, that his apparent friendliness towards me made him appear quite agreeable, and notwithstanding all that I had heard and known of him, I fancied his brutality was frankness, and his presumption strength of character.
But Sir Amyas attended every day for a month, yet never got the mastery of this nervous inclination. Lady Spilsbury then was persuaded it could not be nerves, it must be scrofula; and she called in Dr. Frumpton, the man for scrofula.
I gave him credit especially for a happy instinct for true merit, and an honourable antipathy to flattery and meanness.

Erasmus has been so busy of late, he tells me, he has not had time to record for you all his doings. In one word, he is doing exceedingly well. His practice increases every day in the city in spite of Dr. Frumpton. Adieu till Monday, the 3rd Happy Monday! 'Restraint that sweetens liberty. My dear Rosamond, which do you think loves vacation-time most, a lawyer or a school-boy?
"I told you in my last how I lost all hopes of favour from Sir Amyas Courtney, and how determined I was not to bend to him. On some occasion soon afterwards this determination appeared, and recommended me immediately to the notice of a certain Dr. Frumpton, who is the antagonist and sworn foe to Sir Amyas.
