IX
BACK TO PARIS
I had been away three months instead of one.
I felt sure that many of my patients would
stick to my friend Doctor Norstrom, who had been
looking after them during my absence. I was
mistaken, they all came back to me, some better,
some worse, all speaking very kindly of my
colleague but equally kindly of me. I should
not have minded in the least if they had stuck
to him, I had my hands full in any case and I
knew that his practice was dwindling away more
and more, that he had even had to move from
Boulevard Haussmann to a more modest
apartment in Rue Pigalle. Norstrom had always
been a loyal friend, had helped me out of many
scrapes in the beginning of my career when I
was still dabbling in surgery, always ready to
share the responsibility for my many blunders.
I well remember, for instance, the case of Baron
B. I think I had better tell you this story to
make you understand what sort of man my
friend was. Baron B., one of the oldest members
of the Swedish colony, always in indifferent
health, had been attended by Norstrom for
years. One day Norstrom with his fatal timidity
suggested that I should be called in in
consultation. The Baron took a great liking to me.
