Be Off! you have no chance where Diet Merryman and Quiet practice!" Death answers: "Then my first job must be to quiet you and your partners will soon follow." Quiet: "Come now for a little quiet; Merrymans dose has opperated suficiently!" The patient holds a 'merrythought'. A fat cook, 'Diet', stands on the left inspecting a dish of bare chicken bones; he says, grinning broadly: "He'll do! Pick'd the bones clean! We shall beat the Charlotte Street Medical Board hollow!"
