His response to "That's Dr. Sutton's light. That's the Great Bear." is to tell the reader that Dr. Sutton really refers to two people, both medical doctors and both living on the hill, hinting that line 119 in the poem refers to two people not one. He never mentioned this other doctor, whose house must sit uphill from Shade's, in his comments to lines 47-48. He, once again, references Gradus in the next comment (line 120-121).
Since CK refers to one Dr. Sutton as "Old Dr. Sutton," wouldn't that imply that there's also a young Dr. Sutton who is living in the same house as his presumably retired father? I am reminded of William Carlos Williams's son, also a doctor, who later occupied his father's house and used his attached office as well.
