He knew that the oculist in Dr. Parkman's building was a good one, and so
he went there. It was a little disconcerting when he stepped into the
elevator to meet Dr. Parkman himself. He had not thought of trying
especially to avoid the doctor, but he had wanted to see the oculist
first and get the thing straightened out. He was counting a great deal
now on the oculist.
"Hello!" said the doctor, seeming startled at first, and then after one
sharp glance: "Going up to see me?"
"Well, yes, after a little. Fact of the matter is I thought I'd run in
and let this eye fellow take a look at me."
"Eyes bothering you?"
"Somewhat." He said it shortly, almost curtly.
When they reached the fifth floor, Dr. Parkman stepped out with him,
although he himself belonged farther up.
"I know him pretty well," he explained, "I'll go with you."
He could not very well say: "I would rather you would not," although for
some reason he felt that way.
It was soon clear to their initiated minds that the oculist did not know
the exact nature of the trouble.
