The man grinned slightly and looked very decidedly relieved.

“No, sir,” he answered; “we ain’t going to blindfold you. I’ve got a carriage outside. I don’t think you’ll see much out of that.”

“Very well,” I rejoined, opening the door to let him out, “I’ll be with you in a minute. I suppose you can’t give me any idea as to what is the matter with the patient?”

“No, sir, I can’t,” he replied; and he went out to see to the carriage.
