1 Seating himself, he signed for his first case to come in. This was a man who asked simply for a certificate - adding, as a kind of afterthought, «Beat knee». Andrew examined him, found him suffering from beat knee, gave him the certificate of incapacity for work.

The second case came in. He also demanded his certificate: nystagmus. The third case: certificate, bronchitis. The fourth case: certificate, beat elbow...

Even so, it was half-past ten when he got through his last case (A.J. Cronin).

2 Insensibly he hastened his pace, taut with anticipation, exulting in the realization - this, this was his first case...

He reached 7 Glydar Place, knocked breathlessly upon the door, and was at once admitted to the kitchen, where in the recessed bed, the patient lay. She was a young woman, wife of a steel-puddler named Williams, and as he approached the bedside with a fast-beating heart he felt, over­whel­ming­ly the significance of this, the real starting-point of his life. He was alone, confronted by a case which he must diagnose and treat unaided. All at once, with a quick pang, he was conscious of his nervousness, his inex­perience, his complete unpreparedness, for such a task.

While the husband stood by in the cramped, ill-lit stonefloored room, Andrew Manson examined the patient with scrupulous care. There was no doubt about it, she was ill. She complained that her head ached intolerably. Temperature, pulse, tongue, they all spoke of trouble, serious trouble. What was it? Andrew asked himself that question with a strained intensity as he went over her again. His first case (A.J. Cronin).

3 The winter passed...As days lengthened, without speaking of it to him, she began on the wilderness that was the garden. Jennie, the maid,... became Christine's assistant. Manson, crossing the dilapidated bridge, found them down by the stream-bed one March afternoon, starting an assault on the rusty salmon-tins that lay there...

In a few weeks she had grubbed out the weeds and cleared the neglected paths. The bed of the stream was clean, its edges were cut and trimmed. A new rockery, made from loose stones lying about, stood at the foot of the glen. Vaughan's gardener, John Roberts, kept coming over, bringing bulbs and cuttings, offering advice. With real triumph she led Andrew by the arm to view the first daffodil (A.J.Cronin).
