He was a surgeon on the staff of St Luke's and had come ostensibly to study the methods of the French operators; but his real object was certainly to see Margaret Dauncey. He was furnished with introductions from London surgeons of repute and had already spent a morning at the H?tel Dieu where the operator warned that his visitor was a bold and skilful surgeon whose reputation in England was already considerable had sought to dazzle him by feats that savoured almost of legerdemain.
