two o’clock
We sit round with note books open , and distribute those who must be seen between us . By the time this is done and the horses in , it is half-past eleven . Then away we all FLY upon our several tasks : Horton in a carriage and pair to see the employers ; I in a dog cart to see the employed ; and McCarthy on his good Irish legs to see those chronic cases to which a qualified man can do no good , and an unqualified no harm . Well , we all work back again by two o'clock , when we find dinner waiting for us . We may or may not have finished our rounds . If not away we go again . If we have , Horton dictates his prescriptions , and strides off to bed with his black clay pipe in his mouth .
