“Who is he?” asked Bart, nodding toward him.
“Doctor Lincoln,” she answered. “He is Mrs. Parker’s brother.”
“You are visiting him?”
“Yes. He lives here at Whitney Hill all by himself.”
“Is he a practising physician?”
“No. He has never practised. He is wealthy, and it has been his fad to experiment. He’s rather peculiar.”
“Rather,” agreed Bart. “I found that out very quickly.”
“But he is so kind and good. Some people around here seem afraid of him.”
“Some of the neighbors?”
“Yes.”
