“The Physician came with eager steps, for new cases were few and far between. He insisted on examining Zuleika from head to toe, and would have had her disrobe, save for her father’s protest.
“She seems well enough to me,” the Physician said in a disappointed tone.
“She believes she wishes to marry.”
“Tut, tut,” the Physician said in astonishment. “Well now. Love. And you wish this cured?”
“Before the contagion spreads any further or drives her to actions imperiling us all.”
