Oh, certainly. It’s too good of you. I thought you mightn’t like it.

It’s extraordinary how nervous people are about giving a doctor money. If you only knew how jolly glad he is to get it.

Patient.

Yes. Thank you very much.

Dickie.

Hang it all, man, not on the mantelpiece. There are limits.

Patient.

Oh, I beg your pardon. I’m so sorry.
