Grim, I've gone a bit wrong.
Can I look at yours?

:14:26
Jolly colour, isn't it?
Like crème de menthe.

:14:29
I'd like a waistcoat like that.
:14:31
- Is that the colour it should be?
- I'm afraid so.

:14:35
If I go on like this,
I'll pass the exam.

:14:37
- Don't you want to?
- Heaven forbid. I must muck this up.

:14:41
Let's see. What have we got here?
A spot of this.

:14:48
Now a drop of what you fancy.
:15:04
I say! That's a most pleasing effect,
don't you think?

:15:15
- There you are.
- Ta. Mrs Rivington-Lomax.

:15:20
Mrs Rivington-Lomax.
:15:23
I ought to know who she was.
Who was she? A hospital benefactress?

:15:28
A benefactress,
but not of St Swithins, of me.

:15:31
She was my grandmother, bless her.
:15:34
Rather a gruesome old lady,
but well-to-do.

:15:37
She spent the twilight of her life
surrounded by the medical profession,

:15:41
about every member of which
she was besotted.

:15:44
Then one morning she said to me,
:15:46
"If you'll train to be a doctor,
I'll allow you a thousand a year. "

:15:51
Well, medical training can last
a lifetime, if one wishes.

:15:55
- So, of course, you accepted.
- She put it in her will that night.
