The doctor, with a weary sigh, called him in.

"Mr. Brown," she began. "There's been a significant error in your records. These results don't align with your file." A wave of pure, unadulterated glee washed over him. He felt as light as a feather.

"Oh, splendid!" he replied, his voice overflowing with laughter. "Absolutely splendid!" He felt as if he could fly.
