Explore "Loved and Lost" by Bertha M. Clay on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
When Doctor May left Colonel Dacre's room, after having given certain orders to the comely chambermaid, he sought and obtained an interview with the manager of the hotel. To him he represented Colonel Dacre's state, asking him if he could conscientiously guarantee his having the attention and quiet upon which his life would probably depend?
Monsieur Bause answered readily that the season being over, and the hotel comparatively empty, Colonel Dacre could have as much attention as if he were in his own home.
