DOCTOR. I mean he has and you will.

HOBSON. Doctor, will you attend to me?

(JIM moves round HOBSON'S arm-chair to up stage and then to L. of table.)

DOCTOR. Yes. Now, sir. (He sits by him and holds his wrist.)

HOBSON. I've never been in a bad way before this morning. Never wanted a doctor in my life.

DOCTOR. You've needed. But you've not sent.

HOBSON. But this morning—

DOCTOR. I ken—well.

HOBSON. What! You know!

DOCTOR. Any fool would ken.
