My diary is full of appointments: on the tenth, the
fifteenth, the nineteenth etc. No, neither with an imaginary
boyfriend - a tall thin man having white curls, nor dates of
plays being newly performed in the Cameri.

My appointments are with medical doctors.

But recently an old idiom has reoccurred to my mind: an
apple a day keeps the doctor away.

So, this is the solution. I'll stop eating bananas and
melons and start devouring apples -
Anna, Goldsmith, Jonathan etc.

But how many apples shall I eat? One apple helps against
seeing one doctor. I am to see five doctors. So, how many
apples should I consume?
