and thought of the wondrous good fortune that had brought this girl
beneath his roof, and had given him these charming hours with her.

charming hours which were to come on the morrow.


CHAPTER XV
MISS PANNEY IS AROUSED TO HELP AND HINDER

When Dr. Tolbridge returned from the visit to the patient who lived
beyond Cobhurst, he did not drive into the latter place, for seeing
Mike by the gate near the barn, he gave the cushions and whip to him
and went on.
As it was yet early in the evening, and bright moonlight, he concluded
to go around by the Wittons'. It was not far out of his way, and he

exactly evident to his own mind, but in a general way he wished her to
know that Dora was at Cobhurst.
Dora was a great favorite with the doctor.
