If it is really the pelagre, as I have reason to believe, tomorrow you will see me without hair and beard. I would not hesitate, in spite of the astonishment that my appearance would cause."

"When the hair is cut, what will become of the disease?"
"Yes, good news. But I beg of you, speak first; do not leave me in suspense." "I assure you that you need not be uneasy; and when I speak thus, you know that you should believe me.

With me it is of no consequence; but with you it would be murder to sacrifice your beautiful hair."
