"I＇ve judged it best to see the great doctor, Sir Matthew Hope, 昀rst," Ralph said; "by great good luck he＇s in town. He＇s to see me at half-past twelve, and I shall make sure of his coming down to Gardencourt—which he will do the more readily as he has already seen my father several times, both there and in London. There＇s an express at two-forty-five, which I shall take; and you＇ll come back with me or remain here a few days longer, exactly as you prefer."
