'Is there a doctor here? asked Mr. Goodchild, on his knee, of the motherly landlady of the little Inn: stopping in his examination of Mr. Idle's ankle, with the aid of a candle. 'Ey, my word! said the landlady, glancing doubtfully at the ankle for herself; 'there's Doctor Speddie. 'Is he a good Doctor? 'Ey! said the landlady, 'I ca' him so. A' cooms efther nae doctor that I ken.
But, he was so pale that his face stood out in relief again the dark wall, and really could not be hidden so. 'Mr. Goodchild's friend has met with accident, Lorn, said Doctor Speddie.

It came out in the course of a little conversation, that Doctor Speddie was acquainted with some friends of Thomas Idle's, and had, when a young man, passed some years in Thomas Idle's birthplace on the other side of England.
