Line 119:  Dr. Sutton

 

This is a recombination of letters taken from two names, one beginning in “Sut,” the other ending in “ton.”  Two distinguished medical men, long retired from practice, dwelt on our hill.  Both were very old friends of the Shades; one had a daughter, president of Sybil’s club—and this is the Dr. Sutton I visualize in my notes to lines 181 and 1000.  He is also mentioned in Line 986.
