My man will see to your luggage being brought up. Come along, Doctor.
Of course you will put up with me until you can look round and fix upon quarters.

You have had a very pleasant voyage out, I hope, Isobel ?" he went on, as they started. "Very pleasant, uncle, though I got rather tired of it at last." "That is generally the way--everyone is pleasant and agreeable at first, but before they get to the end they take to quarreling like cats and dogs." "We were not quite as bad as that," the girl laughed, "but we certainly weren't as amiable the last month or so as we were during the first part of the voyage.
Still, it was very pleasant all along, and nobody quarreled with me." "Present company are always excepted," the Doctor said.
