Excerpt from From Wisdom Court
In the morning we called in a friend - house-surgeon in a neighbouring hospital. This promising physician owed one of us a trifle, and we thought it expedient to work off the debt in advice, and, if possible, medicine. He looked grave, and placed his ear against the victim's chest, while he made him repeat inane observations, such as Ninety-nine' Ah' One, two, three, four! We laughed openly at these proceedings. We knew this house-surgeon too well to be at all impressed by the tricks of his trade.
