at the desks; the clock struck; there was
jostling at the rear caused by late comets,
at which the serious young doctors frowned
fiercely; the lines moved forward; and the
men, as they passed the physicians, seemed
to undergo some sort of operation, per-
formed by means of glittering instruments,
of which Theodore caught glimpsey like
lightning playing about those sltted shirt
