Diamond-Fine and dandy. I think it's made a

Nurse-You look great.
Diamond-I really feel splendid. And to think how
I always dreaded being shotl
Nurse know how it is. People just get the idea
it's painful.
Diamond-Loads Of persons kept telling me that !

Diamond-Thats II. Well. anyhow. I let EN- shoot
me and I must admit that it's a wonderful change in
my general condition. I feel like a different person.
Nurse-Didnt you have any idea how badly you
needed shooting?
Diamond-Oh. I knew something was wrong with
me. I hadn't felt right In years But didn't think
it was a case that called for anything being done in
such a hurry.
Nurse-You were an emergency case, I guess.
Diamond-Absolutely. They didn't even give me
a chance TO pack my bag.
Nurse-Dtd it hurt you much?
Diamond hardly felt it.
Nurse-Its wonderful how they do things these

didn't believe EN-. There's really nothing to it. All
you have to do is relax.
Nurse-Its all over before you know anything about
it.
Extraordinarily. And they work so fast with
guns these days that there isn't even a nerve strain.
Nurse-When they came to shoot you did you try to
put It off?
Diamond-No. The minute I saw the guns I said
to myself. Well. they probably know what is best
for me"
Nurse-You oidnt have any more Of those head
aches you used to complain OF, do you?
Diamond telatedly)-Nct a sign OF EN-. 1 was shot
just enough to cure me Of everything and make me
feel better than I've felt in years. Well. goodby. nurse.
