But if
mother-in-law has some obscure complaint I am too busy to give the time
to study it up, and they wouldn't pay me for it if I did. Medicine, like
a great many other things, is going into the hands of the specialists
eventually, and Tillotson is one of the first of the new school."
At that moment a maid announced that some one wished to see Dr. Culver,
and Quincy took a hurried leave.
He found his father, mother, and sisters at home, and breakfast was
quickly served after his arrival. They all said he was looking much
better, and all asked him when he was coming home. He gave an evasive
answer, saying that there were lots of good times coming down in
Eastborough and he didn't wish to miss them. He told his father he was
improving his time reading and writing, and would give a good account of
himself when he did return.
He had to wait an hour before he could secure an interview with Dr.
Tillotson. The latter had a spare day in each week, that day being
Thursday, which he devoted to cases that he was obliged to visit
personally. Quincy arranged with him to visit Eastborough on the
following Thursday, and by calling a carriage managed to catch the
half-past eleven train for that town, and reached his boarding place a
little before two o'clock.
