I should find it so difficult to explain." By others, less sympathetic than old Peter, vigorous attempts were made to solve the mystery. Miss Ramsbotham took enjoyment in cleverly evading these tormentors. Thwarted at every point, the gossips turned to other themes.
He cannot always refuse rich people if they will have him, but he generally sends them to Dr. Ramsbotham. You see, he never takes money for his services, and as people know this, they are ashamed to send for him; and yet they want him because he is so clever.
"The men the men we think about at all," explained Miss Ramsbotham "may be divided into two classes: the men we ought to like, but don't; and the men there is no particular reason for our liking, but that we do.

Peter liked him. "Full of promise," was Peter's opinion. "His criticism of that article of mine on 'The Education of Woman' showed both sense and feeling. A scholar and a thinker."

Suitors more fit and proper were now not lacking, for Miss Ramsbotham, though a woman less desirable when won, came readily to the thought of wooing. But to all such she turned a laughing face. "I like her for it," declared Susan Fossett; "and he has improved there was room for it though I wish it could have been some other. There was Jack Herring it would have been so much more suitable.
