After the visit to the hospital we went on into the City to his consulting-rooms, which were first at 36 New Broad Street, and afterwards at 38 Finsbury Square; and then came the morning hours during which he saw patients there, and I amused myself until he was ready for the afternoon round. Then outdoor work again. Generally the visits led us through crowded streets where the carriage got blocked in amongst great waggons or hemmed in near high warehouses; but at times there came long drives to some patient living more in the country at Hackney, Dalston, Stoke Newington, or farther off still; and then what a happy time I had with him, sitting on his knee and asking endless questions! It was worth many hours of waiting in the carriage, outside doors, to have the times that came between. Then there was the Eastern Dispensary and Jews' Hospital practice, in connection with which he daily went to see patients in their own poor homes. How well I remember being left in the carriage at the end of streets too narrow for it to drive down. I used to amuse myself with looking out at the people passing to and fro--children without hats and bonnets; old-clothesmen with their bags; orange-girls;--many dark faces amongst the passers-by--Jews, as I was afterwards told. I used to wonder at it all, and make up stories about the people and guess on what errands they were bent when entering their little shops and doorways; and when tired of all this--for I was still too small to see without kneeling up on the seat to look out at the window--I seated myself on the floor of the carriage and was soon deeply engrossed in some book of pictures or fairy tales, which my grandfather, in the midst of all else, had thoughtfully put into the pocket of the carriage for me to "find." Then I would climb up again and watch for him. At last he would come! Down the dark, narrow street, looking very grave, the reflection of some scene just left still resting on his face. Out of such thoughts--produced by such places--came his afterwork. When he came to me, however, the sad thoughts passed away, and he was ready to let his happy nature come through to cheer his little girl. He would practically work to relieve such misery as he had seen--day and night--at all cost--through all opposition,--but he would also play merrily with his little grandchild, to make joyous for her the homeward drive through the evening air.
