I'd never dare.

But dear, I am expecting Carey and his wife out any time; probably they will come to-day, it's so beautiful; and when they do, for my sake, won't you talk with him, tell him exactly what made you ill, and take what he gives you?
He's a great man.

He was recently President of the National Association of Surgeons.

Long ago he abandoned general practice, but he will prescribe for you; all his art is at your command.

It's quite an honour, Ruth.
