總評 Commentary

One pill, one cup; a second pill, a second cup; and a third time, until all three are down. The sentence is cut into three by the edition, and the shape of it is a man working steadily through a course of treatment.

He takes the whole prescription without a single question. Nobody at this court has asked what is in the pills since the moment he opened the box, and nobody is going to.
