Excerpt from Harding the Money-Spinner, Vol. 2 of 3
Now, the doctor was always ready to pay with his guard. In the contests which he maintained around him, to carry various objects, he sought to make his adversary confused - to overwhelm him with shame. The situations into which he dragged the opponent with whom he might have to wrestle, were morally painful - they were insufferable to almost everybody else. But to him, as the intended results of his own deliberate contrivance, they were simply flattering and agreeable.
