Miss Kenyon stared at him thoughtfully for a moment.
"One more or less doesn't after all make much difference in a family like this," she said, with a touch of resignation.
"But I haven't decided yet," Arthur began.
"You will," she interrupted him dryly, and at once devoted her attention to Hubert on the other side.
"Does that mean that you're staying on indefinitely?" Elizabeth asked.
Arthur shrugged his shoulders. "It seems as if you all knew more about it than I do myself," he said. "I really don't know yet."
"But he wants you to?" Elizabeth pressed him.
"Apparently," Arthur admitted.
Elizabeth sighed thoughtfully. "You're a kind of grand-nephew, I suppose," she remarked, addressing no one in particular, and then added, "Are you going to be a sort of tame medical attendant?"
"If I stay," Arthur agreed.
