"He is not a horse dealer."

"I think you must have been misinformed. I believe he is really a very clever, honest man, and gives good sound practical advice to all his patients."
"Yes, so I have heard; and all of it is 'Ride on horseback.' If I went to consult him, I should only get that advice. I know it before hand, and have no inclination to throw away a guinea for it."

"Will you pay the Doctor?"
"Yes, if you will follow his advice."
"Done, we will go."
