So what's up, Mr Khan? Outside the practise, where they met by accident in Sainsbury's or in the Horse and Hounds, Dr Kingsley's favourite watering hole, where he both ate, drank and watch the European sports channel. Having no wife in waiting, they called each other Kit and Harry during professional consultations. However, they were both old fashioned enough to prefer to maintain the distance of surnames and titles. I'm not sure I'm having funny feelings. Describe, barked Kingsley briskly. Well, it's probably just my imagination running riot. I'm probably wasting your time. Kitt was beginning to think of this visit rather like a crime against the generosity of the National Health Service, which had been supporting with his taxes for over half a century but which the British public was continually being told was on the brink of economic collapse. Sitting in the waiting room for over an hour, reading back copies of Hello and Woman and now idling away the doctor's precious time with this in define herbal triviality could be defined in a time of credit crunch and world financial depression. Ah, waste of public resources. Why was living in Britain becoming more and more like being in school where authorities have free rein to wrap pupils over the knuckles for no particular reason. Stop the probably Let me judge. I'm the doctor here. Let it out, man. Well, Kit took a gulp of air. I'm getting recurring wobbly feelings like I'm not really here or wherever I am. At that moment, everything seems unreal. Like I've only just seen things for the first time. Like I haven't lived here for the last half century. You retired recently, didn't you? Stupid thing to do. Now I'd say you're not used to unemployment. You need structure on the timetable. All this leisure Kingsley managed to give the word a ferocious sneer which obviously summed up for him a sin of the first order. I tell you, it's a curse. Really. Man wasn't made to laze around. I'm giving you some pills. They will just calm you down. Take one a day with food. Don't overdo it.
