humorous sarcasm science
Detection is, or ought to be, an exact science, and should be treated in the same cold and unemotional manner. You have attempted to tinge it with romanticism, which produces much the same effect as if you worked a love-story or an elopement into the fifth proposition of Euclid.
humorous sarcasm advancement

Attraction and repulsion appear to be the primary forces. This is attraction.
humorous biblical sarcasm
He had never seen a woman doctor before, and his whole conservative soul rose up in revolt at the idea. He could not recall any biblical injunction that the man should remain ever the doctor and the woman the nurse, and yet he felt as if a blasphemy had been committed.
humorous sarcasm doctors
The less experienced a doctor is, the higher are his notions of professional dignity . . .
