Book Description
Excerpt from The Doctor's Wife: A Novel John Gilbert was an elderly man, with a young son. He had married late in life, and his wife had died very soon after the birth of this son. It was for this reason, most likely, that the surgeon loved his child as children are rarely loved by their fathers - with an earnest, over-anxious devotion, which from the Very first had been something womanly in its character, and which grew with the child's growth. Mr. Gilbert's mind was narrowed by the circle in which he lived. He had inherited his own patients and the parish patients from his father, who had been a surgeon before him, and who had lived in the same house, with the same red lamp over the little old-fashioned Surgery-door, for eight-and-forty years, and had died, leaving the house, the practice, and the red lamp to his son.
