Hester was at first a little vexed, but on the whole much more amused, at the idea of her husband having Mr Walcot for a partner: and she soon saw the advantage of his being spared many a long country ride, and many a visit at inconvenient seasons, by his junior being at hand.

The first interview between Julian and Waymark was followed by a second a few days after, when it was agreed that they should spend each Sunday evening together in Kennington; Julian had no room in which he could well receive visitors.

"You were very ready to send a new patient to Mr Walcot, Morris," said Margaret, smiling.

I am going to dispose of mine."
Every one in Deerbrook knows it as well as if Dr Levitt was to give notice of it from the pulpit to-day." "So much the worse for you, Priscilla. I shall explain the whole of Hope's case to Mr Walcot, avoiding, if possible, all exposure of you ." "Oh, pray do not disturb yourself about that. Mr Walcot knows me very well. I am not afraid."
They seemed to come for two purposes to offer an invitation, and to relate that Mr Walcot was gone to dine at Sir William Hunter's to-day, and that Sir William had sent the carriage for him. Mr Walcot had not been ready for full five minutes after the carriage had driven up to the door.
She felt that Mr Walcot was as far superior to the quacks who were making a market of the credulity of the suffering people, as her husband, with his professional decision, his manly composure, and his forgetfulness of the injuries of his foes in their hour of suffering, was above Mr Walcot.
"Mr Walcot wants a horse," said Sydney, delighted at the idea of solving a difficulty. Hope smiled, and told Mr Grey that he had rather sell his horse at a distance.
