DR. WELLS was full of schemes when he had come to Harley Street. He was not sure whether he would set up as a consulting physician, whether he would furbish up his surgery, in which he was not particularly skilled, or whether -- and this appealed to him most -- he would turn a portion of his house into a nursing home for mental cases.
It was the arrival of Peter, and the extraordinary story he had told, which switched him over to the latter course. He saw possibilities in the housing of the rich and deranged, and, going to work with considerable enthusiasm, he had had two small suites prepared, with soundproof and padded walls, when he mentioned his project to a more knowledgeable colleague.
