I never forgot it; I was determined to come here again some time, and that's why I chose this very spot when half Harley Street stood up and told me I must go away somewhere after my cure and be by myself, far from the pernicious influence of friends. I think I gave you a very fair idea of the town yesterday. But I didn't show you the funniest thing in it the inside of a solicitor's office.

"You will come with me, Lovell," he said. "Oh, no, Mr. Dunbar. I would not wish to intrude upon you at such a time.
