"Yes, I am."
"I hope," said Doctor Twist, as he escorted his young guest to his car, "you aren't sore at me for calling you down about those student's lamps. You see, maybe your uncle was hoping you would slip him one, and the disappointment will have made him kind of mad. And part of the system here is to have the patients think tranquil thoughts."
"Think what?"
"Tranquil, beautiful thoughts. You see, if your mind's all right, your body's all right. That's the way I look at it."
Hugo settled himself at the wheel.
"Let's get this clear," he said. "You expect my uncle Lester to think beautiful thoughts?"
"All the time."
"Even under a cold shower?"
"Yes, sir."
"God bless you!" said Hugo.
