I do not know what time it was; he was doing his rounds.

Sister Gourley

His Excellency

Is that all ?

Sister Gourley He also told another old man to walk up and down the

verandah and count how many donkeys passed.

Sir H. S. Berkeley Were there any donkeys passing ?

Sister Gourley No.

Sir H. S. Berkeley

Going around the ward was it a little boy or a man

he said "Good night sonny" to.

Sister Gourley À man.

Dr. Laing There is no harm in that is there.

it was day not right

Sister Gourlay No but big time I thought your manner peculiar.

Dr. Laing I do not go into the ward as if I was stuck up, end as for

patting a little boy on the head that is not occssioned by alchoholism.

Suppose I did pat him on the head ?

Sister Gourley- Yes, but not in the way that morning.

Dr. Laing - How ?

Sister Gourley The extraordinary way you did it; you were smiling. I

thought you were under the influence of drink. You were tremblous and

had difficulty in walking straight.

Dr. Laing

And the charge is that I patted a little boy on the head, and

you have seen me pat dogens and doĝend. Sister Gourley

Dr. Laing

Yes but not in the way you did then.

And the man I told to walk up and down had been suffering from

a bad leg ↑

Sister Gourley

Dr. Laing

Yes he had had a swelling.

Yes I told him to take exercise.
