In Their Own Words
"“My boy!” said the old gentleman, “you look pale and alarmed. What is the matter?”"
"“This is a very extraordinary thing, Mrs. Maylie,” said the doctor, standing with his back to the door, as if to keep it shut."
"“I have been deceived, before, in the objects whom I have endeavoured to benefit; but I feel strongly disposed to trust you, nevertheless; and I am more interested in your behalf than I can well account for, even to myself.”"
