The Collector - fragments
 

What I did then was to go to a chemist and say I wanted something for very bad flu. It was a shop I hadn’t been to before, luckily there was no one else, so I could give my story. I said I had a friend who was a Peculiar Person (they don’t believe in doctors) and he had a very bad flu, perhaps pneumonia, and we had to give him something secretly.

Atunci, urmatorul lucru pe care l-am facut a fost sa merg la un medic si am spus ca voiam ceva pentru o raceala foarte puternica. Era o farmacie la care nu mai fusesem pana atunci, si din fericire, nu mai era altcineva acolo, asa ca am putut sa inventez ceva. Am spus ca aveam un prieten care facea parte din Secta lui Iehova ( ei nu apeleaza la medici) si ca avea o raceala foarte puternica, poate chiar pneumonie, si ca trebuia sa-i dam ceva pe ascuns.
