“Don’t tell me you know medicine, Fronto?”

Brutus shrugged.

“You couldn’t have.”

We thought nothing of his increased indigestion and heartburn, but then this started to happen: the collapsing; the blue skin and the fat fingers.”

“But he’s clearly recovering, Marcus. Look: his colour is returning rapidly and his breathing’s steadying.”
