He wrote her a note in which he said he was ready to consecrate his whole life to her. The note fell into the hands of the lady's husband, a celebrated surgeon, who determined to give Simon a fright. He had a patient who desired a good pair of legs and as Simple Simon had exhibited considerable agility. Dr. Corbett saw a way of supplying the unusual order. Simon was seized and placed on the operating table where his legs were amputated. It must have been a painless operation and Simple Simon declined to believe that his legs had been cut off until he saw the ten toes trying to dance a farango. Then he believed his eyes. Philosopher throughout, he bought another pair of legs for eighteen pence, but subsequently resolved that he would not walk again. He left the house propelling himself on a low truck, a scream.
