Sir Abraham, with all his sharpness, could not have looked into his heart and read his intentions. "All over. You need trouble yourself no further about it; of course they must pay the costs, and the absolute expense to you and Dr Grantly will be trifling, that is, compared with what it might have been if it had been continued."
