Dickie.
I should have thought you’d be rather pleased.
Patient.
[Apologetically.] Yes, of course, I’m very much pleased. I didn’t mean that. I’ve taken up so much of your time.
Dickie.
It’s only out of the people who’ve got nothing the matter with them that I make a living. The people who are ill either get well or die, and that’s the end of them.
Patient.
Yes, I see. I never thought of that. Beautiful day it is, isn’t it?
Dickie.
Won’t you sit down?
