Yes
,
I
qualified
in
my
younger
days
,
when
there
were
several
lives
between
me
and
the
peerage
.
I
have
not
had
occasion
to
practise
,
but
I
have
found
it
a
useful
education
,
all
the
same
.
I
never
regretted
the
years
which
I
devoted
to
medical
study
.
These
are
the
gates
of
Delamere
Court
.
"
We
had
come
to
two
high
pillars
crowned
with
heraldic
monsters
which
flanked
the
opening
of
a
winding
avenue
.
Over
the
laurel
bushes
and
rhododendrons
,
I
could
see
a
long
,
many
-
gabled
mansion
,
girdled
with
ivy
,
and
toned
to
the
warm
,
cheery
,
mellow
glow
of
old
brick
-
work
.
My
eyes
were
still
fixed
in
admiration
upon
this
delightful
house
when
my
companion
plucked
nervously
at
my
sleeve
.
"
Here
’
s
Sir
Thomas
,
"
he
whispered
.
"
Please
talk
beetle
all
you
can
.
"
A
tall
,
thin
figure
,
curiously
angular
and
bony
,
had
emerged
through
a
gap
in
the
hedge
of
laurels
.
In
his
hand
he
held
a
spud
,
and
he
wore
gauntleted
gardener
’
s
gloves
.
A
broad
-
brimmed
,
grey
hat
cast
his
face
into
shadow
,
but
it
struck
me
as
exceedingly
austere
,
with
an
ill
-
nourished
beard
and
harsh
,
irregular
features
.
The
fly
pulled
up
and
Lord
Linchmere
sprang
out
.
"
My
dear
Thomas
,
how
are
you
?
"
said
he
,
heartily
.
But
the
heartiness
was
by
no
means
reciprocal
.
The
owner
of
the
grounds
glared
at
me
over
his
brother
-
in
-
law
’
s
shoulder
,
and
I
caught
broken
scraps
of
sentences
—
"
well
-
known
wishes
.
.
.
hatred
of
strangers
.
.
.
unjustifiable
intrusion
.
.
.
perfectly
inexcusable
.
"
Then
there
was
a
muttered
explanation
,
and
the
two
of
them
came
over
together
to
the
side
of
the
fly
.
"
Let
me
present
you
to
Sir
Thomas
Rossiter
,
Dr
.
Hamilton
,
"
said
Lord
Linchmere
.
"
You
will
find
that
you
have
a
strong
community
of
tastes
.
"
I
bowed
.
Sir
Thomas
stood
very
stiffly
,
looking
at
me
severely
from
under
the
broad
brim
of
his
hat
.
