You crossed the Heath by Wimbledon Common to get to John . If John and Henry wanted to get to each other , they had to pass by Brodrick 's house .

There was Mr. John Brodrick , the eldest brother , the head of the firm of Brodrick and Brodrick , Electrical Engineers . There was Dr. Henry Brodrick , who came next to John .
