Herter

Excuse me, sir, telegrams, you sent one to Mr. Herter and one to your brother?

Still, the air was electric with suspense, and heavy with dread of some vague tragedy: disgrace for the hospital, ruin for Herter.

Sœur Julie was bewildered for a second, but recovered herself to explain that Doctor Herter was eccentric and shy of strangers.

I half expected him to pretend ingenuousness, and spring the tale of Dierdre's adventure with Herter on the company.

Well, you ought to thank Herter just the same for sparing you a worse sort of shock.
