appreciation of a man who has usually

too little time to spend on his meals, said:

“Psychology’s all right if it’s left to the

psychologists. Trouble is, everyone is an

amateur phychologist nowadays. My

patients tell me exactly what complexes

and neuroses they’re suffering from, without

giving me a chance to tell them. Thanks,

Emma, I will have another cup. No time

for lunch today.”

“A doctor’s life, I always think, is so

noble and self-sacrificing,” said Miss

Marple.

“You can’t know many doctors,” said

Dr. Quimper. “Leeches they used to be

called, and leeches they often are! At any

rate, we do get paid nowadays, the State

sees to that. No sending in of bills that you

know won’t ever be met. The trouble is

that all one’s patients are determined to

get everything they can ‘out of the Government’, and as a result, if little Jenny coughs twice in the night, or little Tommy

eats a couple of green apples, out the poor

doctor has to come in the middle of the

night. Oh, well! Glorious cake, Emma.

What a cook you are!”

“Not mine. Miss Eyelesbarrow’s.”
