Certainly. He had alluded to him.
In affectionate and laudatory terms?
He did n't know about affectionate and laudatory terms. Perhaps he had. He had spoken of him as he bad found him. Father Mostyn had always been kind. In writing he had no doubt alluded to that kindness.
More than once?
Doubtless more than once. Kindness was not such a common quality that it would not bear a little repetition.
He had mentioned the Doctor.
Some of him. His stockings, he believed, and his strange happiness in speaking the truth.
How often had he met the Doctor?
Perhaps half a dozen times.
And the post-girl?
