The lad he employed in his office was run over by a cab one slippery day, and all but killed. Piers visited him in the hospital, thus seeing for the first time the interior of one of those houses of pain, which he always disliked even to pass. The experience did not help to brighten his mood; he lacked that fortunate temper of the average man, which embraces as a positive good the less of two evils.

It's a good job he didn't try to visit during a cholera epidemic. All those dancing nurses waiting for TikTok to be invented...
Sam - ha ha - and such big nurses.
