"Tallish; the last time he was here, he must have measured about five feet ten."
"Oh, more than that," interposed Mrs. Lawson; "he was taller than our eldest brother, I know—full six feet one, I should say."
"No, no, Sophia; certainly not more than five feet nine or ten.
Remember, you were a little thing yourself at the time."
"Do you remember the colour of his eyes, Mrs. Lawson?"
"Yes, perfectly; they were blue."
"Brown, I should say," added the doctor.
"No, John, you are quite mistaken; his eyes were blue, Mr.
Hazlehurst—very dark blue."
"I could have taken my oath they were brown," said the doctor.
Hazlehurst looked from one to the other in doubt.
"You were away from home, doctor, more than I was, and probably do not remember William's face as distinctly as I do. I am quite confident his eyes were a clear, deep blue."
