You’ve had to see a patient at about eleven every Sunday morning for the last twenty-five years. I was wondering if it was the same one.

Dr. Macfarlane.

If it is, I certainly deserve praise for keeping the undertakers at bay so long. [Going up to the Colonel] And how are you feeling to-day, Colonel?

Colonel Wharton.

Oh, I’m feeling pretty well, thank you. Have you had a letter from that fellow in Canterbury?

Dr. Macfarlane.

Yes.

Colonel Wharton.

Well, what does he say?

Dr. Macfarlane.
