Dr.
Themison had received a visit from the husband of Mrs.Victor Radnor concerning her state of health.

At an interview with the lady, laughter greeted him; he was confused by her denial of the imputation of a single ailment: but she, to recompose him, let it be understood, that she was anxious about her husband's condition, he being certainly overworked; and the husband's visit passed for a device on the part of the wife.

She admitted a willingness to try a change of air, if it was deemed good for her husband.

Change of air was prescribed to each for both.

'Why not drive to Paris ?' the doctor said, and Victor was taken with the phrase.
He told Fenellan at night that Mrs.Burman, he had heard, was by the sea, on the South coast.
