'Impossible to guess.Arthur,' said Dane suddenly, 'I want you for my doctor.'
'You have me, sir,' said Dr. Arthur, bending his brows upon his friend. 'What's the matter with you?'
'Do I have you? I want for a permanency.'

'You began with them this afternoon,' said Dane gravely. 'The case does possess interest, for it regards the sensations of some fifteen hundred people, or more. I want you to take charge of it;on a salary to be fixed as hereafter agreed upon. What do you say?'
'Thank youI should like it very much,if it were only for the pleasure of working with you. And they want better care than they get.'
'Thank you,' said Rollo in his turn. 'I thought you would, and yet it is a load off my mind.'
'Why it will be delightful,' cried Prim. 'Nothing could be nicer.'
'The next thing is, Arthur, where will you live?'
'Why at home, can't he?'
