And for the moment, after replying to his assistant's greeting a greeting as quiet as his entrance he went on reading his letters, and Bryce turned off to that part of the surgery in which the drugs were kept, and busied himself in making up some prescription.
When a message came from her husband an hour later, asking if she would see him, she answered in the affirmative, but the bare prospect of the interview threw her into a ferment of agitation. She lay panting on her pillows like a frightened child when at length he entered. He came in very softly, but every pulse in her body leapt at his approach. She could not utter a word in greeting.
And he knew everybody, young and old, at doorways, in the fields or gardens, and had for every one a hail and a greeting.
