Not the Doctor.
A head adorned with shaggy whiskers was thrust out of- the window, and a hoarse voice inquired : ■ " What is it?" "Oh. is this Mr Higgins's?" came a shrill voice from below.
"Yes."
" Please come to No. 4-14-, High street, jv', as quick as you can, and bring your instruments."
"I ain't no doctor; I'm a carpenter. Dr Higqins lives in the next street." And the window came down with a slam.
But Mr Higgins had not got comfortably back into bed before the bell rang again, and, uttering some forcible remarks, he rose once more and went to the window.
"Well, what do you want now?" he ejaculated.
" Please, sir," said the little voice, " it's you we want; pa and ma is shut up in the foldin'-bed, and we can't get 'em out."
