She said he'd been to Falmouth to meet a relation of theirs who'd come from America and had found him to be very ill on landing--so ill that a Falmouth doctor had given strict orders that he mustn't travel any further than Bristol, on his way wherever he wanted to go. They'd got to Bristol and the young man was so done up that Mr.Chatfield had had to drive him to another doctor--one close by here--Dr.Valdey--as soon as they arrived. Dr.Valdey said he must go to bed at once and have at least two days' complete rest in bed, and he advised Mr.Chatfield to get quiet rooms instead of going to a hotel. So Mr.Chatfield, knowing that his daughter was here, do you see, sought her out and told her all about it. |
