The gave me a tie, after long discussion. It seemed a pretty tie to me, but I didn't like it. When it came at last I was to tired to send it back. But in the end it came in useful. It was blue, with kind of little stars. I didn't feel well, but they told me I was well enough. They didn't say in so many words that I was as well as I would ever be, but that was the implication.
I lay inert on the bed and it took three women to put on my trousers. They didn't seem to take much interest in my private parts which to tell the truth were nothing to write home about, I didn't take much interest in them myself. But they might have passed some remark.
When they had finished dressing unaided. They told me to sit on the bed and wait. All the bedding had disappeared. It made me angry that they had not let me wait in the familiar bed, instead of leaving me standing in the cold, in these clothes that smelt of sulphur.
I said, you might have left me in bed till the last moment...
