The doctor was at home again before the prescription was made up, which took Harbottle, his servant, such a long time in compounding: and, during the remainder of Arthur's illness, poor Fanny never made her appearance in the quality of nurse at his chambers any more.
As the old gentleman had to die, why shouldn't I tell the truth? Of course I am glad, though it does sound so terrible." "But what are the double good news?" "Oh, I didn't tell you. Miss Forrester is to come to the Park. She is not coming because Mr Harbottle is dead. That's only a coincidence. We are not going to be married quite at once, straight off the reel, you know.
