He took them all to a dark, quiet room which contained a strange machine. When Anna's parents told the doctor about her problems with food, the doctor was very interested. Although this new doctor was rather old, he looked fantastic a lot different from those other doctors with fat bellies, who always looked so tired when they had to get up and walk anywhere.

Neither did she enjoy, as her father clearly did, all the delicious tarts and ice creams they would snack on every evening.
Her parents said she hardly ever ate the wonderful stews or fabulous pizzas made by her mother. Anna had always been very picky about food. Her dad had a belly which he used to open doors with, and her mum was of similar proportions but Anna was a very slim and svelte girl. Anna Dyatt was driving every doctor in the area mad.
