The horse was up to his knees in the drifts. Returned to his office. A woman on Hungry Hill sent for him, saying she was dying of convulsions. Reached her home to find her calmly eating an apple. Returned to his office at 3 a.m. A man and a woman were waiting for him, arguing as to whom he should accompany one lived in Gottingen: other in Windsor St. The doctor went with the woman first, thus enraging the man. He attended to both cases, arriving home utterly exhausted at 6.15 a.m. when he snatched half-an-hour's sleep.
