Mrs. Watson.
I was reading in the Lancet the other day that a German doctor had discovered a new medicine which does nerve cases such a lot of good. I’m sure it’s the very thing for me.
Dickie.
What on earth were you reading the Lancet for?
Mrs. Watson.
Oh, I always read the Lancet and the British Medical Journal. You see, my poor husband had to take them in for his practice.
Dickie.
[With a gasp.] You don’t mean to say your husband was a doctor?
Mrs. Watson.
Oh, I thought I told you that I was a doctor’s widow.
