The apathy of some, and the selfish terrors of others, are worse to witness than the disease itself." "How can you wonder," said Dr Levitt, "when they have such an example before their eyes in certain of their neighbours, to whom they are accustomed to look up? Sir William Hunter and his lady are enough to paralyse the morals of the whole parish at a time like this.
Bostock named it when she named young Billy Hawtrey. Friendship with Mrs. Levitt provided Miss Gregg with, unlimited facilities for meeting Billy, who was always running over from Medlicott to the White House.
"If the fact had not been," said Hester, "as Mrs Howell states it, that the epidemic prevails partially everywhere." "There is a case where Lady Hunter's example immediately operates," observed Dr Levitt.
