The bartender responded with a smile and turned to instruct the kitchen.
Arthur skillfully picked a round table by the window facing the sea and gestured for Snow to sit down.
The bartender soon brought two glasses of ginger beer. Arthur raised his glass and gently clinked it with Snow's: "So, tell me, how has your year at Westminster Hospital been? I heard from Professor Madsen that Westminster Hospital holds you in high regard."
Snow flicked away the froth on the rim with his fingertips, then took a sip. The slightly spicy ginger beer immediately lightened his mood, causing him to exclaim: "At Westminster Hospital, I mainly learned from Mr. Anthony White; you may have heard of him. Mr. White was a prized student of Anthony Callier, Sir George IV's Imperial Physician, and the chairman of the Royal Society of Surgery. Although he's somewhat oblivious to time, I can't deny that Mr. White is the most skilled surgeon I've ever seen in my life."
