Oh Ada, do we have anyone that has arrived yet ?

Yes, your evening appointment is in the waiting room

and ready to come in.

Oh wonderful.

Would this be the 9 o' clock appointment ?

Yes they're a little early,

shall I let the patient in your office ?

Just give me a few minutes,

while I'm getting everything ready.

Can you offer them a cup of tea or something ?

I can certainly do that,

you know I can make them feel right at home

with that special blend of mine.

You're an angel Ada, thank you.

Good evening my dear,

it's been a while, how are you ?

So let me see.

Tonight I am to check your cranial nerve

and test your senses

so you can get a certificate

for your next mission, is that correct ?

Wonderful.

Which zeppelin this time ?

Oh the Kashmir ?

Yes it is one of the most prestigious,

congratulations.

So first, I will focus on your nose and smell

and see if everything looks normal.

To begin,

can you please take a deep breath for me ?

Right,

now with my finger I'm going

to gently close your left nostril first

and you will take a deep breath again.

Same on the other side.

Everything's fine ?

Wonderful.

Now let's check your smell

and I'm going to wave different aromas

under your nose

and you will tell me

what it is you smell.

Alright ?

Let's begin.

First one...

What do you smell ?

Diesel, yes, very good.

Another one ?

Yes I know, this one is not very pleasant.

Hydrogen sulfide, yes.

One last.

Here we go.

Any ideas ?

One more time, alright.

A quite metallic smell, yes.

Copper, very good.

You're doing great.

Now let's quickly check your sense of taste

and do not worry

this one was specifically made for tasting.

Please show me your tongue.

And one, two drops.

Is it sour or bitter ?

Wonderful.

Everything looks fine.

And now let's have a look at your eyes.

So I'm going to examine them first

and then we'll do a couple of tests

and the traditional chart reading

and lens testing.

Alright.

Let's start with a short exam.

Did you notice any change since the last time ?

Do you see any black spots

when looking at my face or at the wall ?

No ? Good.

So, here we go.

Please hold still

and just look straight.

You can look at my nose if it's easier.

Alright.

Alright.

I'm going to hide your left eye first.

So please look up.

Look down.

Good.

Same on the other side.

Look up.

Look down.

Very good.

Everything looks fine.

And now let's see

how your eyes work on peripheral vision.

So I'm going to place my hands

on each side,

but you will keep looking straight,

and you will tell me if you see

my fingers move on the left

or on the right.

Here we go.

Wonferful.

And now there is one thing I'd like to do

that I haven't done the previous times.

And this is checking

your stereoscopic vision.

Meaning the ability of both your eyes

and your brain

to create a single 3-dimensional image

of what you see.

In other words, depth perception.

This is what allows you

to judge distance

and this is very important of course.

You will quickly understand what I mean.

And for that we're going to use

this new device I got a few months ago

that looks like binoculars

and in which I will insert

2 nearly identical pictures

and you should see one only

with some kind of depth,

just like you could step in.

Let me adjust it.

Alright, so you are going to place your eyes

in front of the lenses here,

and hold the device with you hands.

Ready ?

Alright so let me insert the first picture.

Tell me what you see.

Do you see the relief ?

Wonderful.

Next one...

Same, what do you see ?

Good.

And, one last...

So, what do you see on this one ?

Wonderful.

You're doing great, let me take it back.

How was it ?

Yes, very interesting.

So now let's end with the classic chart reading

so I can see if there has been any change

since I last saw you.

Just let me prepare the testing glasses

with your current prescription.

Alright ?

Alright, here we go.

Just let me adjust it on your ears.

So what is the smallest line you can read ?

That's good,

it looks like your eyesight is stabilizing

which is a good thing.

Can you try this one

just under the red line ?

It may sound surprising

but maybe your eyesight has even

improved a bit

and your current correction

may be too strong.

Let's check that.

So, slightly lower...

Tell me ?

Very good.

So just as I thought

your eyesight has slightly improved.

And it's probably because you often

turn your eyes in many directions

when working on zeppelins,

looking far and close

and this is just like doing exercices

but for your eyes,

and that's a very good thing.

So we will update your prescription.

Alright ?

Lake me take it back.

And now my dear,

let's have a look at your face.

So first I'm going to examine your skin

and test your sense of sensation

on different areas.

Nothing painful.

Alright ?

Let me see.

Any discomfort ?

Arlight.

So now, just relax your face muscles

I'm going to gently tap

on different points

with my fingers.

Here we go.

Everything looks great,

wonderful.

And now I'm going to apply

a soft pressure with this tiny tool

on different points of your face again.

You will tell me if you feel it.

It's not sharp.

Here we go.

There ?

There ?

There ?

There ?

There ?

There ?

There ?

And there ?

Wonderful.

Now let's have a look over your hearing.

If I remeber well,

there was a tiny problem last year.

Did you come across any discomfort

these last months ?

Alright, let's have a look.

Alright, just hold still.

Let's start on this side.

Alright, nothing unusual on this side,

let's see the other.

Good.

Wonderful.

And now I'm going to whisper

some words behind your ears

on each side.

And you will repeat them

so I'll be sure that your hearing is at its best.

Ready ?

Let's start.

Steam engine.

Blaze.

Compass.

Nimbus.

Very good.

Just one last, to be sure ?

Octopus.

Wonderful.

So now, I will use a tuning fork.

I'm going to strike it and place it

on different parts of your face.

And you will tell me when you stop

hearing the sound, alright ?

Let's start with the forehead.

Alright, where did you hear the sound ?

Left, right, middle ?

Good.

So, left ear.

And right ear.

Wonderful.

So everything looks normal

you're in great condition

and ready to start your mission.

Just let me fill your certificate.

There it is my dear.

Good luck and take care.

Goodbye.

Hey Ada, any other patients tonight ?

I see no more entries in my datebook.

No I don't think so,

and nobody else has shown up in the waiting room.

Time to punch our card ?

Well I believe so. Dear me, what a day.

Have you made any plans for tonight ?

Yes, there is this submersible inauguration

at the harbour.

I thought I would have a look,

I heard the captain is quite handsome.

Would you like to go as well ?

Oh what a wonderful idea, count me in,

I will join you in a minute.
