District Doctor
   
One time in the autumn, on coming back from a long            trip, I caught a cold and had to go to bed. Luckily the fever struck me in a provincial town, in a hotel, and I sent for a doctor. In half an hour the district doctor appeared, a man of small stature, thinnish and black-haired. He wrote out the usual prescription for something to make me sweat, ordered the application of a mustard plaster and very skilfully slipped his five-rouble payment into his coat cuff, all the while drily coughing and glancing to one side, and was just on the point of leaving when a conversation was struck up and he remained.

So you see it was like this, as you might say, so as not to tell a lie - during Lent, just when everything was thawing. I was sitting with him, at our judge’s house, and I was playing whist. Our judge was a good chap and very fond of playing whist. Suddenly

He’s brought a note - it must be from a patient. Let me see it, I say. Yes, it’s from a patient …Well, that’s all' right, it’s our bread and butter, you know ... It’s like t ............
