I am relieved to know I haven't lost your confidence.
The list is likely long. Scurvy, poorly nourished, phantom pains have returned with a vengeance from the hand I lost. Nothing Jopson hasn't tended before. However, I believe Dr. Valenti prescribed "pain killers" for the latter. Those wouldn't go amiss.
Now, how you will get past my Lieutenant, that is another matter. He is—how do I put this politely—territorial at the best of times. And this is certainly the worst of times.
