ONE: THE SIESTA. THE SIESTA.He sat down rather hurriedly, on the couch, and the Doctor scanned him anxiously for symptoms. But there were none of an alarming character. He had not removed his borrowed hat and wig.

I thought it all quite brilliant, though Im sure I claim no share in its success except that I do think I gave you all a very good dinner.
