A Petrol Scented Spring (2015)
“At 8.00 am and 5.00 pm to feed her, and once in between, usually mid-morning, when he comes in his black frock coat to take her pulse and temperature and sound her chest.
On the fifth day – or is it the sixth? Already she’s not sure – she asks if she is supposed to pretend he is someone else when he comes in his frock coat? Does he think she will forget what he did to her this morning, clad in his butcher’s apron?
He asks the wardress if she has slept. (She has.) She informs him that fr...om now on she will call him Doctor Savage, so both of them can keep in mind what he is.
He asks the wardress if she has opened her bowels? (She has not.) She says, by rights, he should be serving a prison sentence himself.
He tells the wardress to fetch the calomel from Doctor Lindsay.
The wardress is surprised. Matron’s instructions are to remain with the prisoner at all times.MoreLess
