There was, for instance, the chief doctor in our town.

He was a large, fat, jolly red-faced man, clean-shaven, with white hair.

He was considered the best doctor in the place--all the old maids went to him.

He was immensely jolly, you could hear his laugh from one end of the street to the other.

He was married, had a delightful little house, where his wife gave charming dinners.
