The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Finished by H. Rider Haggard: that Dr. Rodd and he--"
"Never mind about Dr. Rodd," she broke in with a contemptuous
little jerk of her chin," how is my father?"
"I imagine much as usual. He and Dr. Rodd were here a little
while ago, I suppose that they have gone out" (as a matter of
fact they had, but in different directions).
"Then that's all right," she said with a sigh of relief. "You
see, I heard that he was very ill, which is why I have come
back."
So, thought I to myself, she loves that old scamp and
she--doesn't love the doctor. There will be more trouble as sure
