He spoke to me of a medical man, a specialist, who would understand my case at once.

Would I not see him?
Never had I seen my son so tender and affectionate.

I yielded to his entreaties at last, and one evening I said to him, 'Bring in this wonderful physician, if you really think he can do anything for me,' and he did bring him.
"Yes, M.Andre, he found a medical man base and vile enough to become the tool of my son, and a money-lender; and if I choose, I can expose him to the loathing of the world, and the contempt of his brethren.
"The fellow came, and his visit lasted nearly an hour.

I can see him now, asking questions and feeling my pulse.

He went away at last, and my son followed him.
