[...]
- Oh, why, of course. Three men and a girl in the house, and more for the hay and the harvest.
- So many? Hmm... But it doesn't leave you much time to look after yourself, and you feel ill.
- No, no, not ill exactly, but I get blown.
- Blown? Oh, yes, of course, blown.
- Show me your tongue. Oh, dear. Not much appetite?
- Bend over, will you please? Breathe. Breathe. Cough. Cough again.
- Did you ever fall off a ladder when you were young?
- Ever feel a pain here at night when you're getting into bed? A sort of cramp?
- Of course, you realise what's wrong with you.
- No.
- That's just as well, perhaps.
- Now, you want to be cured, or you don't want to be cured?
- Let me warn you at once, this will be a very long and a very costly business.
- Because the trouble that's been going on for 40 years can't be cured in five minutes.
