Pratt, Mr. Richard
Title
Pratt, Mr. Richard
Description
Doctor; Mr. Pilgrim's rival in Milby, and an adherent of Mr. Tryan. "Pratt was middle-sized, insinuating, and silvery-voiced. . . . Pratt elegantly referred all diseases to debility, and, with a proper contempt for symptomatic treatment, went to the root of the matter with port wine and bark. . . . There was the most perfect unanimity between Pratt and
Pilgrim in the determination to drive away the obnoxious and too probably unqualified intruder as soon as possible . . . But by their respective patients these two distinguished men were pitted against each other with great virulence." The original of Mr. Pratt was a Mr. Bond. (See Olcott, George Eliot, p. 16.)
