A woman who had burnt her hand came to consult him. As she knew him to be very particular in this respect she did her best to be laconic. Showing the doctor her hand she said, ―A burn.‖ ―A compress,‖ was the learned doctor‘s advice. The next day the woman returned and said, ―Better.‖ ―The same,‖ said the doctor. In a week the woman paid her last visit to the doctor‘s. This time he heard her utter more than one word. ―Your fee?‖ she asked. ―None!‖ exclaimed the delighted physician. ―I would like all my patients to be as sensible as you are, madam.‖ Functions of the For-to-Infinitive Constructions Subject For me to ask would be a treason Если бы я спросила, это было бы предательством Predicative That was for him to find out.
