I must, unfortunately, make an announcement. Doctor John Watson - a good doctor, a well intentioned man and I would wish to call him a friend - appears not to be on board any longer.
I have looked for him, and waited a day or so for him to return. He did not. I now believe he will not.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

John was checking on his friend in his room. His friend is still here, and still... quite remarkably and unnaturally unconscious. I shall check on him until he regains consciousness.
We still need to talk. But not today.
the old sage and fool,
war doctors,
poetry from the soul,
insects trapped in amber,
the art of taking things in ones stride
