Chapter II
“I am wholly uninterested in the moral character of any person who donates money to my hospital,” said Parsons boldly. “The only thing that troubles me is the lack of funds.” “Perhaps,” said his lordship hopefully, “if I put my name down as an annual subscriber for----” The doctor waited. “Say ten guineas a year,” suggested Lord Claythorpe. “You offered a £10,000 reward,” said the doctor, his anger rising.
