...hurts business at their expensive clinic in remote Rochester, Minn, where they and the 400 doctors whom they employ treat more than 700 new sick people every day and where in a few weeks they expect to work on their 1,000,000th patient. Essentially the Mayo brothers care little for wealth.

Wary of all women after that, he took revenge on them by emphasizing women's treachery in The Decline and Fall.

Wounded and captured by Bulgarians in the last months of the War, Lieutenant De Queslain was put under the care of a tall, beautiful brunette doctor named Lena Apostolova, who resisted all his efforts to thaw out her businesslike manner. The only time she showed any feeling was when she talked about the Macedonian question, or when she told him about her past, an incredible autobiography revolving around massacres, torture, rape, underground terrorist activity. During the last big French attack, Lena discharged De Queslain as cured, left him to make his way with the retreating Bulgarians. When they next...
