“An electric something—I didn't get the last word.”
A little laugh, then “v-i-b-r-a-t-o-r.”
“Oh! vibrator.”
“Yes. Do you think it would help my aunt?”
“Not a durned bit.”
Another little laugh, “You don't think it would?”
“No!”
“I had a letter today from my cousin and she said she knew a lady who had had a stroke and this vibrator helped her more than anything.”
“It didn't. She imagined it.”
“Well, I didn't know anything about it and I knew you would, so I thought I'd 'phone you before going any further. Much obliged, Doctor.”
