Arkwright feels that Nurse Gladys has been neglecting him and, in order to get her undivided attention, he must come down with a 'disease', nothing too serious, just something that will have her lavishing attention on him. Perhaps, a nice cosy little disease on Arkwright's part would be just the thing to attract the ministrations of a certain district nurse? Needless to say she sees through the ruse and is ready to beat him at his own game.
