[Herb of Grace by Rosa Nouchette Carey]@TWC D-Link bookHerb of Grace CHAPTER XVIII 13/18
Well, Mr. Herrick, I can read a question in your eyes." "Yes, there is one thing I want to know--has not Dr.Fraser married ?" "To be sure he has; but he did not marry for some years.
He left Earlsfield and took a London practice, and his career has been a brilliant one." "I believe Mrs.Fraser is a lovely woman, and they have three beautiful children.
But the strangest part of my story is still to be told--Douglas Fraser is no longer an agnostic." Malcolm looked at her silently; but Mrs.Godfrey said no more, and not for worlds would he have asked another question.
