"What for?"
"To see Dr. Jedd, and take him down to Hastings, if possible."
"That won't do."
"Why not?"
"Because Jedd's appearance would give Phil the office. Jedd gave evidence on the Fryar trial, and must be a marked man to him. All Jedd can tell you is that Charlotte is being poisoned. You know that already. Of course she'll want medical treatment, and so on, to bring her round; but she can't get that under my brother's roof. What you have to do is to get her away from that house."
"You do not know how ill she is. I doubt if she could bear the removal."
"Anything is better than to remain. That is certain death."
"But your brother would surely dispute her removal."
"He would, and oppose it inch by inch. We must get him away, before we attempt to remove her."
"How?"
