A few Falls 



jockey reminded me, "for time spent on our 

 back in the ambulance." That gives us a key to 

 the situation. We have to work hard and do 

 desperate things occasionally for our wages, and 

 if we happen to be knocked out, our wages are 

 not appreciably augmented ; they are conceivably 

 stopped. They may, at any rate, look rather 

 small after we have been on our back in bed for 

 a month or so with a series of dislocations. One 

 grows so tired of the wretched ambulance when 

 its use has become familiar. Sleep there is not 

 refreshing, the attitude is not elegant, and my 

 own exits have been gladly performed.
