Expression: to attendance on your wife #1 (permalink) Fri Sep 14, 2007 4:06 am   Expression: to attendance on your wife		  
Hi,
Quote:
Snuffy Dr Murren. People knocking them up at all hours. For God' sake, doctor. Wife in her throes. Then keep them waiting months for their fee. To attendance on your wife. No gratitude in people. Humane doctors, most of them.(VIII, Ulyssese)


Is it saying: (The doctors) come to attendance on your wife or (Their fee) is to/for the attendance on your wife?

Thank you!

I would have said 'for', but I think that 'To attendance on your wife' is the line item on the unpaid doctor's bill.

The connection of 'To attendance on your wife' and 'the line item on the unpaid doctor's bill' makes every piece come together. Thank you, MM, again!
