He
rang
the
bell
,
and
followed
her
into
the
hall
.
As
the
servant
closed
the
door
on
her
,
a
sudden
impulse
of
curiosity
—
utterly
unworthy
of
him
,
and
at
the
same
time
utterly
irresistible
—
sprang
up
in
the
Doctor
’
s
mind
.
Blushing
like
a
boy
,
he
said
to
the
servant
,
’
Follow
her
home
,
and
find
out
her
name
.
’
For
one
moment
the
man
looked
at
his
master
,
doubting
if
his
own
ears
had
not
deceived
him
.
Doctor
Wybrow
looked
back
at
him
in
silence
.
The
submissive
servant
knew
what
that
silence
meant
—
he
took
his
hat
and
hurried
into
the
street
.
The
Doctor
went
back
to
the
consulting
-
room
.
A
sudden
revulsion
of
feeling
swept
over
his
mind
.
Had
the
woman
left
an
infection
of
wickedness
in
the
house
,
and
had
he
caught
it
?
What
devil
had
possessed
him
to
degrade
himself
in
the
eyes
of
his
own
servant
?
He
had
behaved
infamously
—
he
had
asked
an
honest
man
,
a
man
who
had
served
him
faithfully
for
years
,
to
turn
spy
!
Stung
by
the
bare
thought
of
it
,
he
ran
out
into
the
hall
again
,
and
opened
the
door
.
The
servant
had
disappeared
;
it
was
too
late
to
call
him
back
.
But
one
refuge
from
his
contempt
for
himself
was
now
open
to
him
—
the
refuge
of
work
.
He
got
into
his
carriage
and
went
his
rounds
among
his
patients
.
If
the
famous
physician
could
have
shaken
his
own
reputation
,
he
would
have
done
it
that
afternoon
.
Never
before
had
he
made
himself
so
little
welcome
at
the
bedside
.
Never
before
had
he
put
off
until
to
-
morrow
the
prescription
which
ought
to
have
been
written
,
the
opinion
which
ought
to
have
been
given
,
to
-
day
.
He
went
home
earlier
than
usual
—
unutterably
dissatisfied
with
himself
.
The
servant
had
returned
.
Dr
.
Wybrow
was
ashamed
to
question
him
.
The
man
reported
the
result
of
his
errand
,
without
waiting
to
be
asked
.
’
The
lady
’
s
name
is
the
Countess
Narona
.
She
lives
at
—
’
Without
waiting
to
hear
where
she
lived
,
the
Doctor
acknowledged
the
all
-
important
discovery
of
her
name
by
a
silent
bend
of
the
head
,
and
entered
his
consulting
-
room
.
The
fee
that
he
had
vainly
refused
still
lay
in
its
little
white
paper
covering
on
the
table
.
He
sealed
it
up
in
an
envelope
;
addressed
it
to
the
’
Poor
-
box
’
of
the
nearest
police
-
court
;
and
,
calling
the
servant
in
,
directed
him
to
take
it
to
the
magistrate
the
next
morning
.
Faithful
to
his
duties
,
the
servant
waited
to
ask
the
customary
question
,
’
Do
you
dine
at
home
to
-
day
,
sir
?
’
After
a
moment
’
s
hesitation
he
said
,
’
No
:
I
shall
dine
at
the
club
.
’
The
most
easily
deteriorated
of
all
the
moral
qualities
is
the
quality
called
’
conscience
.
’
In
one
state
of
a
man
’
s
mind
,
his
conscience
is
the
severest
judge
that
can
pass
sentence
on
him
In
another
state
,
he
and
his
conscience
are
on
the
best
possible
terms
with
each
other
in
the
comfortable
capacity
of
accomplices
.
When
Doctor
Wybrow
left
his
house
for
the
second
time
,
he
did
not
even
attempt
to
conceal
from
himself
that
his
sole
object
,
in
dining
at
the
club
,
was
to
hear
what
the
world
said
of
the
Countess
Narona
.
