2. Frankly, Mr Shankly
'Frankly, Mr Shankly, I do not know what else I could do for you,' said Doctor Watson after he examined his patient. 'I cannot see any serious anomalies. Apart from a few problems caused by your advanced age, you are perfectly healthy.'
'Thank you, Doctor.' Mr Ichabod Shankly – eighty six years old, sparse gray hair, silver-rimmed spectacles and worn, though very well made, frock coat – taking his cane, got up and went to the door.
'You are still a young man, Doctor, but when one lives as long as I do, one starts to think about writing a testament.'
The old man said his goodbyes and left.
