"Your brother ought to live in fresh air both in doors and out," said Dr. Hope; "and I thought this large room would answer as a sort of sitting place for both of you." "It's ever so nice; and we are both more obliged to you than we can say," replied Clover, holding out her hand as the doctor rose to go.
