He also admits a funny intent that he wanted to marry a fat and rich lady - doctor as it would help him run away without getting caught when he would make some silly mistake .This witty side of the doctor is seen again at the end of the story when he remarks that the thief did not take away his dirty vest because he had a sense of cleanliness.
