"Ah, doctors!" said the boy scornfully.  "I knew one once in South Gippsland where a chap broke his laig, same as me, and some one set it, and got him pretty right for the time bein’.  They took him home an’ wired for a doctor to a place ten mile away, tellin’ him what was the matter, so’s he’d bring the proper fixin’s.  He come along after a bit, took off the setting an’ looked at the laig, an’ said it was set all right, an’ he’d left the splints an’ things at the hotel, an’ he must go an’ get them. So he left that laig with nothin’ on it but a blanket, an’ went off; an’ he didn’t come back for seven hours!"
