  Not voices, but more like sobs, good old man. With that, he pulled out his purse, and showed it bursting with new gold-pieces, with the face of good King Gargantua stamped on each piece.

summary:
  The poor patient knew at once his master's tongue, and lifting up one of his eyes, the other being stiff and barkened down said in a melancholy voice, Ah, master, do you think I'll get better? Doctor Peelbox, old man as he was, started back as if he had been a French dancing-master, or had stramped on a hot bar of iron. It seems to be a great deal too much overlooked, that little things are great to little men; and perhaps the mind of boyhood is more active in its conceptions--more alive to the impulses of pleasure and pain--in other words, has a more extended scope of sensations, than during any other portion of our existence.

summary:
  All men, worth anything, old men especially, have strong fits of optimism--even Carlyle has--because they can't help hoping, and sometimes feeling, that the world is going right, and will go right, not your way, or my way, but its own way. He was a great man, but his method of compromise, though useful enough in particular cases when employed by a great man, becomes a most dastardly _schema mundi_ when taken up by a school of little men.
