[Doctor Thorne by Anthony Trollope]@TWC D-Link bookDoctor Thorne CHAPTER XXVIII 14/23
I've a right to ask, you know; eh, doctor ?" "The title-deeds of a large portion of the Greshamsbury estate will be placed with the mortgage-deeds before the end of next month." "Oh, that's all right.
I choose to know about these things; for though my father did make such a con-found-ed will, that's no reason I shouldn't know how things are going." "You shall know everything that I know, Sir Louis." "And now, doctor, what are we to do about money ?" "About money ?" "Yes; money, rhino, ready! 'put money in your purse and cut a dash;' eh, doctor? Not that I want to cut a dash.
No, I'm going on the quiet line altogether now: I've done with all that sort of thing." "I'm heartily glad of it; heartily," said the doctor. "Yes, I'm not going to make way for my far-away cousin yet; not if I know it, at least.
I shall soon be all right now, doctor; shan't I ?" "'All right' is a long word, Sir Louis.
But I do hope you will be all right in time, if you will live with decent prudence.
