“Are you going to-day?”

“Yes; Dr. Lake will call for me about five.”

“You and Dr. Lake are getting to be great friends.”

“Are we?”

“Do you know what he says about Felix?”

“He can say nothing but that he may never be himself again.”

“Yes, he did; but you mustn’t repeat it; promise me.”

“There is no need for me to promise.”

“He said that his mind will grow weaker and weaker. Do you know that he has been having fits for two years?”

“Yes, I am aware of it.”
