The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman Book 6, Chapter 3 Summary

Meanwhile, Dr. Slop has prepared a bandage for Tristram's mutilated penis. Susannah, however, has a sudden fit of modesty and refuses to hold the candle so Dr. Slop can see to apply it.
Dr. Slop finally convinces her to hold the light but look away. Well, that's a recipe for disaster: she sets his wig on fire, he throws the bandage in her face, and she tosses a pan of medicine back at him.
No one, we want to point out, has managed to do anything about poor Tristram's penis.
