Doctor. “What illnesses have you had?”
Hill. “I have had typhoid.”
Doctor. “Anything else?”
Hill. “I had fits when I was young. At least my people said they were fits, but I don’t think they were fits.” (This of course was a lie—O’Farrell’s instructions again.)
Doctor. “What were they like?”
Hill. “I used to fall down. I don’t remember what happened after that.”
Doctor. “Why did you try to hang yourself?”
Hill. “I didn’t!”
