The Disease Is What I Know, Yet Know It Not

Dr. roger chillingworth said he would gladly learn how to cure the minister of his disease, if it was for life or death freely. The clergyman asked: 'How can you question it? Surely it were child's play to call in a physician and then hide the sore?' He replied: 'I take it in medicine for the soul, thus a sickness' And so Mr. dimesdale became convinced that there was no such thing as "child's play" at all.
