He took up Max Wyndham years ago, when he was only a medical student.

And he has been like a father to him ever since.

In fact, I don't believe Dr.Wyndham would ever have come here if Sir Kersley hadn't made him.

He was overworked and wouldn't take a rest, so Sir Kersley literally forced him to come and be Dad's assistant for a while.

He told Dad that he was too brilliant a man to stay long in the country, and Dad gathered that he contemplated making him his own partner in the course of time.
