[Magdalen] Chicken pox

[Arthur Laurent]

My brother (a bit less than a year older) and I shared a bedroom as kids. He very kindly shared all the kid diseases with me (except whooping cough). This was way back when doctors were expected to make house calls.

Since then, I've been inoculated and re-inoculated against every disease known to humanity.
