"How's your husband?"
"He's not very grand ... Marietje neither."
"Isn't she well?"
"No. She's very full of nerves. I consulted Dr. Berens, to ease my mind."
"What does he say?"
"He ... he suggested that...."
"That what, Adolphine?"
"He said ... that Addie was beginning to make such a name ... as a nerve-specialist. He advised me to go to Addie ... and talk to him about Marietje. Perhaps one day, when he comes to the Hague, he might see Marietje.... Do you think he could be persuaded to, Constance?"
"Certainly, Adolphine. Of course he will, gladly."
"I hear such good accounts of him ... as a doctor."
