I am a sick man...
I was a spiteful official;.
I used to be in the government service, but am no longer.
Now I am forty.
My liver is bad, well-let it get worse! I have been going on like that for a long time-twenty years.
But still, if I don\'t consult a doctor it is From spite.
Of course, I can\'t explain who it is precisely that I am mortifying in this case by my spite: I am perfectly well aware that I cannot pay out the doctors by not consulting them
I know better than anyone that by all this I am only injuring myself and no one else.
Well, I understand it, though.
That you probably will not understand.
No, I refuse to consult a doctor From spite.
Besides, I am extremely superstitious, sufficiently so to respect medicine, anyway (I am well-educated enough not to be superstitious, but I am superstitious).
I don\'t consult a doctor for it, and never have, though I have a respect for medicine and doctors.
However, I know nothing at all about my disease, and do not know for certain what ails me.
I believe my liver is diseased.
I am an unattractive man.
I am a spiteful man. .
I am a sick man..
