'
You
will
excuse
my
coming
in
,
Doctor
,
"
said
he
to
me
,
speaking
English
with
a
slight
lisp
.
'
This
is
my
father
,
and
his
health
is
a
matter
of
the
most
overwhelming
importance
to
me
.
'
"
I
was
touched
by
this
filial
anxiety
.
'
You
would
,
perhaps
,
care
to
remain
during
the
consultation
?
"
said
I.
"
'
Not
for
the
world
,
"
he
cried
with
a
gesture
of
horror
.
'
It
is
more
painful
to
me
than
I
can
express
.
If
I
were
to
see
my
father
in
one
of
these
dreadful
seizures
I
am
convinced
that
I
should
never
survive
it
.
My
own
nervous
system
is
an
exceptionally
sensitive
one
.

With
your
permission
,
I
will
remain
in
the
waiting-room
while
you
go
into
my
father
's
case
.
'
"
To
this
,
of
course
,
I
assented
,
and
the
young
man
withdrew
.
The
patient
and
I
then
plunged
into
a
discussion
of
his
case
,
of
which
I
took
exhaustive
notes
.
He
was
not
remarkable
for
intelligence
,
and
his
answers
were
frequently
obscure
,
which
I
attributed
to
his
limited
acquaintance
with
our
language
.
Suddenly
,
however
,
as
I
sat
writing
,
he
ceased
to
give
any
answer
at
all
to
my
inquiries
,
and
on
my
turning
towards
him
I
was
shocked
to
see
that
he
was
sitting
bolt
upright
in
his
chair
,
staring
at
me
with
a
perfectly
blank
and
rigid
face
.
He
was
again
in
the
grip
of
his
mysterious
malady
.
"
My
first
feeling
,
as
I
have
just
said
,
was
one
of
pity
and
horror
.
My
second
,
I
fear
,
was
rather
one
of
professional
satisfaction
.
I
made
notes
of
my
patient
's
pulse
and
temperature
,
tested
the
rigidity
of
his
muscles
,
and
examined
his
reflexes
.
There
was
nothing
markedly
abnormal
in
any
of
these
conditions
,
which
harmonized
with
my
former
experiences
.
I
had
obtained
good
results
in
such
cases
by
the
inhalation
of
nitrite
of
amyl
,
and
the
present
seemed
an
admirable
opportunity
of
testing
its
virtues
.
The
bottle
was
downstairs
in
my
laboratory
,
so
,
leaving
my
patient
seated
in
his
chair
,
I
ran
down
to
get
it
.
There
was
some
little
delay
in
finding
it
--
five
minutes
,
let
us
say
--
and
then
I
returned
.
Imagine
my
amazement
to
find
the
room
empty
and
the
patient
gone
.
"
Of
course
,
my
first
act
was
to
run
into
the
waiting-room
.

The
son
had
gone
also
.
The
hall
door
had
been
closed
,
but
not
shut
.
My
page
who
admits
patients
is
a
new
boy
and
by
no
means
quick
.
He
waits
downstairs
and
runs
up
to
show
patients
out
when
I
ring
the
consulting-room
bell
.
He
had
heard
nothing
,
and
the
affair
remained
a
complete
mystery
.
Mr.
Blessington
came
in
from
his
walk
shortly
afterwards
,
but
I
did
not
say
anything
to
him
upon
the
subject
,
for
,
to
tell
the
truth
,
I
have
got
in
the
way
of
late
of
holding
as
little
communication
with
him
as
possible
.
"
Well
,
I
never
thought
that
I
should
see
anything
more
of
the
Russian
and
his
son
,
so
you
can
imagine
my
amazement
when
,
at
the
very
same
hour
this
evening
,
they
both
came
marching
into
my
consulting-room
,
just
as
they
had
done
before
.
"
'
I
feel
that
I
owe
you
a
great
many
apologies
for
my
abrupt
departure
yesterday
,
Doctor
,
"
said
my
patient
.
