He's got a wonderful mind, Doc has.
"I hain't no notion how ever Doc got started believin' things, but mebby he got in with a bad lot at the doctor school he went to.

Doc told me hisself they cut up dead folks.

Anyhow, he come back from Chicago a regular atheist; but that was before I knowed him.

He lived up at Clarence, and he didn't come to Kilo 'til about ten years after that, and he'd got pretty well along by then, and had got right handy at believin' things.
"Well, when Doc come to Kilo pa had jist died an' ma an' me had to take in boarders to git along; so Doc come to our house to board.

That's how Doc an' me got to know each other.
