Prompt: Around the time when a younger Douglas is training to be a medical student, he meets a lost little boy. The kid says his brother and sister just left him on his own as a prank, and he's scared being out by himself, but he also seems to be terrified that his parent's are going to be cross with him when he gets home.
Douglas has misgivings about taking the little boy home, especially when the kid so obviously lies about the reasons for the bruises on his arm, but he nonetheless takes him back safely, the little boy chatting excitably about planes - apparently he wants to be an aeroplane when he gets older - after a small amount of conversation prompting from Douglas.
Years later, Douglas realises that that little boy grew up to be Martin Crieff.
Med student Douglas knew Martin as a child
