looked after him, he got well again. After a week or two the doctor sent a
bill to Savage for his visits, but poor Savage hadn’t any money couldn’t
pay it. The doctor waited for another month and sent the bill again. But
still no money came. After several weeks he sent it to him again asking for
his money. In the end he came to Savage’s house and asked him for pay-
ment, saying to Savage.» You know you owe your life to me and I expect-
ed some gratitude from you.»
        «I agree,» said Savage. «that I owe my life to you, and to prove to
you that I am not ungrateful for your work I will give my life to you.» With
these words he handed to him two volumes entitled, «The Life of Richard
Savage.»
