One summer he managed
26、 to get a job in a butchers shop during the day time ,and another in a hospital at night.

27、of course, allowed to do only the simplest jobs, like lifting people and carrying them from one part of the hospital to another.

After a week or two the doctor sent a bill to Savage for his visits, but poor S
32、avage hadnt any money and couldnt pay it. The doctor waited for another month and sent the bill again. But still no money came. After several weeks he sent it to him again asking for his money. In the end he came to Savages house and asked him for payment, saying to Savage, “You know you owe your li
33、fe to me and I expected some gratitude from yon.“ “I agree,“ said Savage, “that I owe my life to you, and to prove to you that I am not ungrateful for your work I will give my life to you.“ With these words he handed to him two copies entitled THE LIFE OF RICHARD SAVAGE. 59 The best title for this t
