I only wish all the drunkards could be put in a lunatic asylum instead of being allowed to run foul of sober people. And at that thought great shudders ran down my prone body, because, once, I had visited a famous lunatic asylum where they had shown me a poor wretch who was mad, apparently, because he thought he had been abominably fooled by a woman. and the solution of it has been repeatedly attempted, with no other result than to crowd our lunatic asylums with the would-be solvers. |
