Did Jane tell you ?" "Yes.

I'm very sorry your friend is so ill." Selwyn's face clouded over.
"I'd like to see him again," he answered simply.

"We haven't met for some years--not since my wife's health brought me to Monkshaven--but we were good pals at one time, he and I.Luckily, I've been able to arrange with Dr.Mitchell to include my patients in his round, and if you'll take charge of everything here at home, Sara, I shall have nothing to worry about while I'm away." "Of course I will.

It's very nice of you to entrust your family to my care so confidently." "Quite confidently," he replied.
