i felt rather poor lately, so this morning at nine i went to the doctor. i found him alone in his waiting-room, where he was standing by the window.
“where are your patients? have you cured them all? ” i asked.
“the reason why people aren't crowding into this room now is that on wednesday i don't begin consultations here until half past ten. such has been my habit for the last twenty-five years.’
i’m sorry i came too early i said, 'i will go and come back later“.
“oh, no. i prefer early patients to late ones. in the course of my practice i have noticed the late-comers visit the doctor because they need some sympathy. they are like a dog that once came here with a sore paw; i bandaged it for him and while i was doing this he was looking at me with great lonely eyes. he came back the next day and every day until his paw became well. i found out that his master has gone away. the dog is old now but he is still coming.
