Larkin, accustomed to being coddled, became greatly enraged when Harvey neglected him for the poor, and called him a hireling. Harvey forced him to come to the office to pay his bill, then locked the door, told Larkin he must fight, gave him a licking, and dressed his wounds. Larkin offered him a check, but he tore it up. Later, he saved the life of Larkin's daughter when imported specialists failed. Seeking a way to show his gratitude, Larkin learned that Harvey had mortgaged his home to send an afflicted child to Europe, and the canceled mortgage now hangs framed on Harvey's wall.
