Oh
,
I
’
m
precious
glad
I
’
m
not
one
of
the
Directors
now
.
I
shall
vote
for
referring
the
matter
to
the
Directors
and
the
Medical
Board
together
.
I
shall
roll
some
of
my
responsibility
on
your
shoulders
,
Doctor
,
"
said
Mr
.
Vincy
,
glancing
first
at
Dr
.
Sprague
,
the
senior
physician
of
the
town
,
and
then
at
Lydgate
who
sat
opposite
.
"
You
medical
gentlemen
must
consult
which
sort
of
black
draught
you
will
prescribe
,
eh
,
Mr
.
Lydgate
?
"
"
I
know
little
of
either
,
"
said
Lydgate
;
"
but
in
general
,
appointments
are
apt
to
be
made
too
much
a
question
of
personal
liking
.
The
fittest
man
for
a
particular
post
is
not
always
the
best
fellow
or
the
most
agreeable
.
Sometimes
,
if
you
wanted
to
get
a
reform
,
your
only
way
would
be
to
pension
off
the
good
fellows
whom
everybody
is
fond
of
,
and
put
them
out
of
the
question
.
"
Dr
.
Sprague
,
who
was
considered
the
physician
of
most
"
weight
,
"
though
Dr
.
Minchin
was
usually
said
to
have
more
"
penetration
,
"
divested
his
large
heavy
face
of
all
expression
,
and
looked
at
his
wine
-
glass
while
Lydgate
was
speaking
.
Whatever
was
not
problematical
and
suspected
about
this
young
man
—
for
example
,
a
certain
showiness
as
to
foreign
ideas
,
and
a
disposition
to
unsettle
what
had
been
settled
and
forgotten
by
his
elders
—
was
positively
unwelcome
to
a
physician
whose
standing
had
been
fixed
thirty
years
before
by
a
treatise
on
Meningitis
,
of
which
at
least
one
copy
marked
"
own
"
was
bound
in
calf
.
For
my
part
I
have
some
fellow
-
feeling
with
Dr
.
Sprague
:
one
’
s
self
-
satisfaction
is
an
untaxed
kind
of
property
which
it
is
very
unpleasant
to
find
deprecated
.
Lydgate
’
s
remark
,
however
,
did
not
meet
the
sense
of
the
company
.
Mr
.
Vincy
said
,
that
if
he
could
have
HIS
way
,
he
would
not
put
disagreeable
fellows
anywhere
.
"
Hang
your
reforms
!
"
said
Mr
.
Chichely
.
"
There
’
s
no
greater
humbug
in
the
world
.
You
never
hear
of
a
reform
,
but
it
means
some
trick
to
put
in
new
men
.
I
hope
you
are
not
one
of
the
‘
Lancet
’
s
’
men
,
Mr
.
Lydgate
—
wanting
to
take
the
coronership
out
of
the
hands
of
the
legal
profession
:
your
words
appear
to
point
that
way
.
"
"
I
disapprove
of
Wakley
,
"
interposed
Dr
.
Sprague
,
"
no
man
more
:
he
is
an
ill
-
intentioned
fellow
,
who
would
sacrifice
the
respectability
of
the
profession
,
which
everybody
knows
depends
on
the
London
Colleges
,
for
the
sake
of
getting
some
notoriety
for
himself
.
There
are
men
who
don
’
t
mind
about
being
kicked
blue
if
they
can
only
get
talked
about
.
But
Wakley
is
right
sometimes
,
"
the
Doctor
added
,
judicially
.
"
I
could
mention
one
or
two
points
in
which
Wakley
is
in
the
right
.
"
"
Oh
,
well
,
"
said
Mr
.
Chichely
,
"
I
blame
no
man
for
standing
up
in
favor
of
his
own
cloth
;
but
,
coming
to
argument
,
I
should
like
to
know
how
a
coroner
is
to
judge
of
evidence
if
he
has
not
had
a
legal
training
?
"
"
In
my
opinion
,
"
said
Lydgate
,
"
legal
training
only
makes
a
man
more
incompetent
in
questions
that
require
knowledge
a
of
another
kind
.
People
talk
about
evidence
as
if
it
could
really
be
weighed
in
scales
by
a
blind
Justice
.
No
man
can
judge
what
is
good
evidence
on
any
particular
subject
,
unless
he
knows
that
subject
well
.
A
lawyer
is
no
better
than
an
old
woman
at
a
post
-
mortem
examination
.
How
is
he
to
know
the
action
of
a
poison
?
You
might
as
well
say
that
scanning
verse
will
teach
you
to
scan
the
potato
crops
.
