Oughtn't we to be doing something?
gpt
Doing what?
human
Well, I don't know. Seeing after the wounded, perhaps.
gpt
There are sure to be a few somewhere, I said.
human
They've been fighting all over the town, and I don't suppose the soldiers were as careful everywhere else as they were here.

Are you a surgeon as well as a lord?

Then I expect the wounded, if there are any, would rather you left them alone. Besides, a town like this must have hundreds of doctors in it. They'll all be out after the wounded by this time as keen as vultures. It isn't every day that an ordinary practitioner gets the chance of gouging out bullets. They wouldn't let you interfere with their sport even if you paid them. There won't, as a matter of fact, be nearly enough wounded to go round the profession. They'd hate to have an amateur chipping in. Let's forage about a bit and get some food.
