From Carlyon Sahib: A Drama in Four Acts by Gilbert Murray

Steinmetz my master? Steinmetz was never my master! You call it successful, you call it Steinmetz's section? Very well, I do not complain! It is Steinmetz's section because he has cut open five people and killed four-- (Movement of VERA and of CARLYON) --and he is my master because I have only cut open two and killed none! He is your great man. (VERA: You have done the operation yourself?) I only followed him; he showed the way. When have I said anything else? And if I do not kill my people it is because I have no originality, I am a plodder, a second-rate man! Bah! he is a bungler! (CARLYON: Then you are going to India to operate on Adene?) What does it matter--I am nobody--what I do? Good-night.
