He had me
entrapped here on my wedding-day, to get hold of my money, and rob me of
her I love. I appeal to you, sir, to discharge me, or, if you have not so
much confidence in your own judgment as to do that, then I demand a
commission of lunacy, and a public inquiry."
Dr. Bailey said, "That would be a most undesirable exposure, both to
yourself and your friends." (Formula.)
"It is only the guilty who fear the light, sir," was the prompt reply.
Mr. Tollett said he thought the patient had a legal right to a commission
of lunacy if there was property, and he took note of the application. He
then asked Alfred if he had any complaint to make of the food, the beds,
or the attendants.
"Sir," said Alfred, "I leave those complaints to the insane ones: with me
the gigantic wrong drives out the petty worries. I cannot feel my stings
for my deep wound."
"Oh, then, you admit you are not treated _unkindly_ here?"
I admit nothing of the kind, sir. I merely decline to encumber your
memory with petty injuries, when you are good enough to inquire into a
monstrous one.
