"But it is all over now," the doctor added. "Do not talk too much."
"Yes, all over. My bodily frame is weak, but my mind is clear again. Now, Sir Humphrey, I wish you, if you will be so kind, to go to Lady Woodroffe, and tell her from me that the hallucination has passed away, and give her my regrets that I disturbed her. Sir Robert will perhaps go with you, to make the explanation clearer, because he knows all the details."
"I will certainly call upon Lady Woodroffe this evening," said the doctor. "Indeed, Sir Humphrey is ignorant of certain facts connected with the case which will probably incline Lady Woodroffe to forgive and excuse the more readily."
"Will you do this, Sir Humphrey?" asked Mrs. Haveril.
"Yes, if that's all," he replied hoarsely. "Is that all? Was it, as you say, hallucination? Are you quite certain?"
The doctor felt his patient's pulse. "All hallucination," he replied. "Now, please finish this interview as soon as you can."
"I want Sir Humphrey to give me his own forgiveness."
"If there were anything to forgive."
"Since there is nothing," said the doctor, sternly, "you can even more readily go through the form."
"Well, if you wish it."
