"Humph! And Jack does not like the man?"
"No, he despises him."
"That will make it awkward, if this doctor's story is true."
"He will have to bring strong proofs to make me believe the story, I can tell you that."
"I do not blame you, Marion." The young surgeon mused for a moment. "It runs in my mind that I have heard of this Dr. Mackey before."
"Where?"
"I cannot remember now. But I believe it was while I was practicing in Philadelphia."
"Was he a doctor there?"
"It runs in my mind that he was connected with some bogus medical institute which defrauded people through the mails. But I am not certain."
"If there is truth in this, I wish you would look the matter up, Harry. Mamma will want to know all she can of Dr. Mackey before she gives up Jack to him."
