Excerpt
Excerpt: ENTER MR. SHARP. ?REALLY these English newspapers are very well written, said the worthy doctor to him, as he leant back in a great leathern easy-chair. Dr. Sarasin had all his life been given to soliloquizing, one of the many results of absence of mind. He was a man of fifty, or thereabouts; his features were refined; clear lively eyes shone through his steel spectacles, and the expression of his countenance, although grave, was genial. He was one of those people, looking at whom one says at the first glance, ?There is an honest man! Notwithstanding the early hour, and the easy style of his dress, the doctor had already shaved and put on a white cravat.
