A CONSULTATION.
Persons of the dialogue: Arthur Pillwell, M.D., a fashionable physician; Henry Swallow, a patient. The scene is laid in Dr. Pillwell's consulting-room—a solid room, heavily furnished. A large writing-table occupies the centre of the scene. There are a few prints on the walls; two bookcases are solidly filled with medical books. Dr. Pillwell is seated at the writing-table. He rises to greet his patient.
Dr. P. Good morning, Mr. —— (He looks furtively at a notebook lying open on the table) Mr.—ah—Swallow.
