Книга дельная. Без воды, приводятся реальные кейсы и способы их разрешения. Много практичных полезных советов и методик. Кое-что уже испробовала в дел...

If we had to lose some one, it would have been a damned sight better if that young cub had got the bullet which killed poor Richardson.
Dick
George Allerton?
Doctor
He wouldn't have been much loss, would he?
Dick
No, I'm afraid he wouldn't.
Doctor
Mackenzie has been very patient with him. I wonder he didn't send him back to the coast months ago, when he sacked Macinnery.
Dick
Poor George, everything has been against him.
Doctor
Some men have got natures so crooked that with every chance in the world to go straight they can't manage it. The only thing is to let them go to the devil as best they may.
Dick
Alec was bound to give him another chance. [Alec Mackenzie comes in.] Hulloa, Alec! Where have you been?
Alec
I've been going the round of the outlying sentries.
Dick
All serene?
Alec
Yes. I've just seen a native messenger that Mindabi sent to me.
Doctor
Anything important?
Alec
[Curtly.] Yes. How's the arm, Dick?
Dick
Oh, that's nothing. It's only a scratch.
Alec
You'd better not make too light of it. The smallest wound has a way of being troublesome in this country.
Doctor
He'll be all right in a day or two.
Alec
How are the others?
Doctor
They're going on pretty well on the whole. Perkins, of course, will be down for some days longer. And some of the natives are rather badly hurt. Those devils have got explosive bullets.
Alec
Any one in great danger?
Doctor
No, I don't think so. There are two men who are in rather a bad way, but all they want is rest.
Alec
I see.
Dick
I say, have you had anything to eat lately?
Alec
[With a laugh.] Good Lord! I quite forgot. I wonder when the dickens I had some food last.
Dick
[Smiling.] You've had nothing to-day, have you?
Alec
No, I don't think so. Those Arabs kept us so confoundedly busy.
Dick
