"I have no case of fever myself. I hear that Robb has."
"Yes—two in one house. Now, what precautions do you recommend against infection?"
"For nervous persons the best precaution is to keep out of the way of infection."
"You would recommend me to keep away from Marsh-End, then? Moxon is nearer, though it is in my parish."
"I never recommend a man to dodge his duty. Mrs. Wallop will be of most use at present; she is just starting."
"Mrs. Wallop? My wife has engaged her and paid her for a month in the event of any trouble coming amongst ourselves. You must surely be mistaken, Mr. Carnegie?"
"Mrs. Wiley was mistaken. She did not know her woman. Good-morning to you, sir."
