pajautā! - citāts par ūdeni ceļgalā

Ļoti tuvu sākumam, pirmajā nodaļā jābūt.

Jā, man nav latviešu grāmatas pie rokas, bet tas ir pašā pirmās nodaļas sākumā, angļu tekstā nosaukts par housemaid's knee.

Bet kas par grāmatu?

"I sat for awhile, frozen with horror; and then, in the listlessness of despair, I again turned over the pages. I came to typhoid fever—read the symptoms—discovered that I had typhoid fever, must have had it for months without knowing it—wondered what else I had got; turned up St. Vitus’s Dance—found, as I expected, that I had that too,—began to get interested in my case, and determined to sift it to the bottom, and so started alphabetically—read up ague, and learnt that I was sickening for it, and that the acute stage would commence in about another fortnight. Bright’s disease, I was relieved to find, I had only in a modified form, and, so far as that was concerned, I might live for years. Cholera I had, with severe complications; and diphtheria I seemed to have been born with. I plodded conscientiously through the twenty-six letters, and the only malady I could conclude I had not got was housemaid’s knee.

I felt rather hurt about this at first; it seemed somehow to be a sort of slight. Why hadn’t I got housemaid’s knee? Why this invidious reservation? After a while, however, less grasping feelings prevailed. I reflected that I had every other known malady in the pharmacology, and I grew less selfish, and determined to do without housemaid’s knee. Gout, in its most malignant stage, it would appear, had seized me without my being aware of it; and zymosis I had evidently been suffering with from boyhood. There were no more diseases after zymosis, so I concluded there was nothing else the matter with me."

Jā, Tev ir šķības actiņas, piedod. Jo teksts pilnīgi noteikti ir Trīs vīros laivā.
Vēl var gadīties, ka kāds izplēsis vairākas lapas.

Epizode sākas ar to, ka galvenais varonis aiziet uz bibliotēku un paņem lasīšanai Medicīnas enciklopēdiju.
