The girl rose slowly from the chair. "I will try and persuade him to see Dr. Earle."
The man took a step toward her. "I don't believe a doctor is what he needs," he
said quickly. "His condition is one that even a nerve specialist might not diagnose
correctly. It is only some one in a position like mine, who has an opportunity to
observe him almost hourly, day by day, who would realize his condition. I doubt if
he has any organic trouble whatever. What he needs is a long rest, entirely free
from any thought whatever of business. At least, Elizabeth, it will do him no
harm, and it may prolong his life for years. I wouldn't go messing around with
any of these medical chaps."
"
Well," she said at last, with a sigh, "I will talk to him and see if I can't persuade
him to take a trip. He has always wanted to visit Japan and China."
"Just the thing!" exclaimed Bince; "just the thing for him. The long sea voyage
will do him a world of good. And now," he said, stepping to her side and putting
an arm around her.
She pushed him gently away.
"No," she said; "I do not feel like kissing now," and turning she entered her
father's office, followed by Bince.
