When the narrator arrives at the shop, he finds that the doctor has fainted. The doctor tells him that the food and medicine are in the kitchen and that he will be back soon. The narrator asks if he can be back before eight, but the doctor says that he is not ready to do so. He tells the narrator that he has an appointment with the doctor before that time, and the narrator tells him to go where he wants to go, rather than standing in front of him with a sad look on his face
