Does
this
Mr
.
Lydgate
mean
to
say
there
is
no
use
in
taking
medicine
?
"
said
Mrs
.
Mawmsey
,
who
was
slightly
given
to
drawling
.
"
I
should
like
him
to
tell
me
how
I
could
bear
up
at
Fair
time
,
if
I
didn
’
t
take
strengthening
medicine
for
a
month
beforehand
.
Think
of
what
I
have
to
provide
for
calling
customers
,
my
dear
!
"
—
here
Mrs
.
Mawmsey
turned
to
an
intimate
female
friend
who
sat
by
—
"
a
large
veal
pie
—
a
stuffed
fillet
—
a
round
of
beef
—
ham
,
tongue
,
et
cetera
,
et
cetera
!
But
what
keeps
me
up
best
is
the
pink
mixture
,
not
the
brown
.
I
wonder
,
Mr
.
Mawmsey
,
with
your
experience
,
you
could
have
patience
to
listen
.
I
should
have
told
him
at
once
that
I
knew
a
little
better
than
that
.
"
"
No
,
no
,
no
,
"
said
Mr
.
Mawmsey
;
"
I
was
not
going
to
tell
him
my
opinion
.
Hear
everything
and
judge
for
yourself
is
my
motto
.
But
he
didn
’
t
know
who
he
was
talking
to
.
I
was
not
to
be
turned
on
HIS
finger
.
People
often
pretend
to
tell
me
things
,
when
they
might
as
well
say
,
‘
Mawmsey
,
you
’
re
a
fool
.
’
But
I
smile
at
it
:
I
humor
everybody
’
s
weak
place
.
If
physic
had
done
harm
to
self
and
family
,
I
should
have
found
it
out
by
this
time
.
"
The
next
day
Mr
.
Gambit
was
told
that
Lydgate
went
about
saying
physic
was
of
no
use
.
"
Indeed
!
"
said
he
,
lifting
his
eyebrows
with
cautious
surprise
.
(
He
was
a
stout
husky
man
with
a
large
ring
on
his
fourth
finger
.
)
"
How
will
he
cure
his
patients
,
then
?
"
"
That
is
what
I
say
,
"
returned
Mrs
.
Mawmsey
,
who
habitually
gave
weight
to
her
speech
by
loading
her
pronouns
.
"
Does
HE
suppose
that
people
will
pay
him
only
to
come
and
sit
with
them
and
go
away
again
?
"
Mrs
.
Mawmsey
had
had
a
great
deal
of
sitting
from
Mr
.
Gambit
,
including
very
full
accounts
of
his
own
habits
of
body
and
other
affairs
;
but
of
course
he
knew
there
was
no
innuendo
in
her
remark
,
since
his
spare
time
and
personal
narrative
had
never
been
charged
for
.
So
he
replied
,
humorously
—
"
Well
,
Lydgate
is
a
good
-
looking
young
fellow
,
you
know
.
"
"
Not
one
that
I
would
employ
,
"
said
Mrs
.
Mawmsey
.
"
OTHERS
may
do
as
they
please
.
"
Hence
Mr
.
Gambit
could
go
away
from
the
chief
grocer
’
s
without
fear
of
rivalry
,
but
not
without
a
sense
that
Lydgate
was
one
of
those
hypocrites
who
try
to
discredit
others
by
advertising
their
own
honesty
,
and
that
it
might
be
worth
some
people
’
s
while
to
show
him
up
.
Mr
.
Gambit
,
however
,
had
a
satisfactory
practice
,
much
pervaded
by
the
smells
of
retail
trading
which
suggested
the
reduction
of
cash
payments
to
a
balance
.
And
he
did
not
think
it
worth
his
while
to
show
Lydgate
up
until
he
knew
how
.
He
had
not
indeed
great
resources
of
education
,
and
had
had
to
work
his
own
way
against
a
good
deal
of
professional
contempt
;
but
he
made
none
the
worse
accoucheur
for
calling
the
breathing
apparatus
"
longs
.
