Excerpt from The Doctor's DomicileOw, my dear, said Mr. Crowder, regarding his wife with a tender kindness which I had frequently noticed in him, just for a change, I know you would like to hear of a career of prosperity, wouldn't you? Indeed, I would i said Mrs. Crowder.You will have noticed, said her husband, that there has been a great deal of variety in my vocations; in fact, I have not mentioned a quarter of the difi'erent trades and callings in which I have been engaged. It was sometimes desirable and Often absolutely necessary for me to change my method of making a living, but during one epoch of my life I steadily devoted myself to a single profession. For nearly four hun dred years I was engaged almost continuously in the prae tise of medicine. I found it easier for me, as a doctor, to change my place of residence and to appear in a new country with as much property as I could carry about with me, than if I had done so in any other way. A prosperous and elderly man coming as a stranger from a far country would, under ordinary circumstances, be regarded with suspicion unless he were able to give some account of his previous career. But a doctor from a far country was always welcome; if he could cure people of their ailments, they did not ask anything about the former circumstances of his life. It was perfectly natural for a learned man to travel.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
