-Muriel Hine
"You must forgive me. The fact is" -he smiled- "I'm too interested in your case to remember your natural anxiety. I think your present trouble is caused by an error in digestion. The palpitation comes from that and the other symptoms too. A little care with your diet-I'll write you a prescription- a bismuth mixture to be taken after meals. But if you've further worry, come to me again. As a friend-you understand?... Oh, no!-It's pure selfishness. I don't want to lose sight of you. You see- to cut it short-you're by way of being a freak! You've got-for want a better name-what i call a Double Heart. One heart's on your right side and one's in the proper place. It's the most amazing thing I've ever come across. You're perfectly healthy-sound as a bell. I shouldn't wonder, upon my soul, if you hadn't two lives!" McTaggarat stared at him, trying to take it in.
