He has no confidence in me; he never tells me anything; he never talks to me about his affairs. If he talks to any one it is to that horrid doctor." "What, Dr Thorne ?" Now the Countess de Courcy hated Dr Thorne with a holy hatred. I believe that he knows everything; and advises everything, too. Whatever difficulties poor Gresham may have, I do believe Dr Thorne has brought them about. |
