Number 481 is no better, doctor,
said the head-warder, in a slightly reproachful accent, looking in round the corner of my door.

And 61 says his tubes are paining him. Couldn’t you do anything for him?
He is a walking drug-shop,
said I. He has the whole British pharmacopaæ inside him. I believe his tubes are as sound as yours are.

You’d like it, doctor,
said Warder McPherson, insinuating one of his
