We recently learned that the procedure, which has been widespread, does no good, though it could have a placebo effect for those patients who are believers. I had that procedure, and it made my knee worse for a time. The surgeon was a highly respected physician who, I am confident, was as skilled as they come and sincere in recommending

scope out the terrain. I hadn't been back in fiftysix years, and I remembered nothing. My parents had moved out of the city when I was three, but I instinctively found myself returning to the neighborhood where we had lived, crawling home like some wounded dog to the place of my birth. A local real estate agent ushered me around to six or seven brownstone flats, and by the end of the afternoon I had rented a twobedroom garden apartment on First Street, just half a block away from Prospect Park. I had

maids, I heard one say to the other, "What a pity it is that our mistress no longer loves our master! I believe she would like to kill him if she could, for she is an enchantress." I soon found by watching that they were right, and when I mortally wounded a favourite slave of hers for a great crime, she begged that she might build a palace in the garden, where she wept and bewailed him for two years.

There was a rich widow disconsolate for the loss of her seventh husband, and to her wounded spirit I offered the balm of my vows. She yielded a reluctant consent to my prayers.
