I seem to have lost all account of the time." "Yes, Wednesday." "Then I suppose the funeral will be on Monday or Tuesday.

If there is any message that you want sent down to the town, one of the grooms will carry it whenever you wish." "Thank you; 'tis not worth sending particularly, any time will do, but I shall want to send a note to Mrs.Wilson presently, asking her to come up the first thing tomorrow morning." "He can take it whenever, you like, Mrs.Cunningham.I have nothing to send down for, as far as I know.

I suppose you have heard that the doctor thinks very badly of Mr.Bastow ?" "Yes.

Ramoo is sitting with him now." "Then I think, if you will write your note at once, Mrs.Cunningham, I will send one down to Dr.Holloway, asking him to send an experienced nurse.

He said he should call again this afternoon, but the sooner a nurse comes the better." That afternoon Mark wrote a letter to the family solicitors, telling them of what had taken place, and stating that the funeral would be on the following Tuesday, and asking them to send down a clerk with his father's will, or if one of the partners could manage to come down, he should greatly prefer it, in view of the explanations that would be necessary.
