The Tenant of Wildfell Hall

CHAPTER XVII
10/10

He was in a bad humour that night; for his gout was worse.

It had been gradually increasing upon him ever since we came to town; and my aunt took advantage of the circumstance next morning to persuade him to return to the country immediately, without waiting for the close of the season.
His physician supported and enforced her arguments; and contrary to her usual habits, she so hurried the preparations for removal (as much for my sake as my uncle's, I think), that in a very few days we departed; and I saw no more of Mr.Huntingdon.

I wonder if it will?
