"It won't hurt him," he agreed, "provided he is carried down the stairs. If I could only tell how much he remembers!"
"That is what we cannot tell. Perhaps it is better to hope that he will never remember."
The doctor nodded. "I shall not be coming so often now. I have one or two other cases which require a good deal of attention, and you can send for me if it is necessary. Meanwhile I will look in every few days. He is less likely to think of his illness if I am not here to remind him of it. Have you heard when the Major is coming home?"
"No. In Marion's last letter she said that Dickie would be able to travel in a fortnight or so, but that he was ordered to the sea. So I don't know whether they will come home or not. She said that this coast was rather too bracing for him--at least she thought so."
"I expect you will hear something in the next day or two," said he rather grimly.
Philippa laughed. "Yes," she agreed, "I expect I shall."
