"
I
thought
I
heard
you
calling
,
sir
,
"
she
explained
,
but
no
answer
was
given
to
her
.
Mrs
.
Woods
looked
at
the
clock
as
she
returned
to
her
room
,
and
it
was
then
half
-
past
eleven
.
At
some
period
between
eleven
and
twelve
(
she
could
not
be
positive
as
to
the
exact
hour
)
a
patient
called
upon
the
doctor
and
was
unable
to
get
any
reply
from
him
.
This
late
visitor
was
Mrs
.
Madding
,
the
wife
of
the
village
grocer
,
who
was
dangerously
ill
of
typhoid
fever
.
Dr
.
Lana
had
asked
her
to
look
in
the
last
thing
and
let
him
know
how
her
husband
was
progressing
.
She
observed
that
the
light
was
burning
in
the
study
,
but
having
knocked
several
times
at
the
surgery
door
without
response
,
she
concluded
that
the
doctor
had
been
called
out
,
and
so
returned
home
.
There
is
a
short
,
winding
drive
with
a
lamp
at
the
end
of
it
leading
down
from
the
house
to
the
road
.
As
Mrs
.
Madding
emerged
from
the
gate
a
man
was
coming
along
the
footpath
.
Thinking
that
it
might
be
Dr
.
Lana
returning
from
some
professional
visit
,
she
waited
for
him
,
and
was
surprised
to
see
that
it
was
Mr
.
Arthur
Morton
,
the
young
squire
.
In
the
light
of
the
lamp
she
observed
that
his
manner
was
excited
,
and
that
he
carried
in
his
hand
a
heavy
hunting
-
crop
.
He
was
turning
in
at
the
gate
when
she
addressed
him
.
"
The
doctor
is
not
in
,
sir
,
"
said
she
.
"
How
do
you
know
that
?
"
he
asked
harshly
.
"
I
have
been
to
the
surgery
door
,
sir
.
"
"
I
see
a
light
,
"
said
the
young
squire
,
looking
up
the
drive
.
"
That
is
in
his
study
,
is
it
not
?
"
"
Yes
,
sir
;
but
I
am
sure
that
he
is
out
.
"
"
Well
,
he
must
come
in
again
,
"
said
young
Morton
,
and
passed
through
the
gate
while
Mrs
.
Madding
went
upon
her
homeward
way
.
