"I have already told you that, as far as I am personally concerned." "No. You have denied everything, and now you try to treat me as one demented!" I declared in a fury. "The existence of the bank notes you gave me are sufficient evidence against you." "I think not. First, I doubt if they exist anywhere save in your imagination; secondly, if they do, then someone else may have given them to you."
No, here was the wall they hadn't hit him again he laughed in a demented way and rolled his body over, and fell to the other side. The cry seemed to reach some inner consciousness, revive him, send the blood whipping through his veins. That voice! It was her HERS! The Tocsin! There was an automobile, engine racing, standing there in the road.
The Emperor and his friends may or may not have gambolled in this jewelled bath; but certain it is that Tiberius knew of the existence of this unique cavern; and equally certain that an artistic but demented potentate of our own days was so smitten with the idea of owning a secret staircase descending to a blue grotto, that he must needs construct within the walls of a fantastic castle in the highlands of Bavaria an artificial counterpart of the Grotta Azzurra, with metal swans moved by clockwork swimming thereon!
Wherever he is, she is there. She is wild and bony and ragged. She is, or pretends to be, half demented. She tells fortunes with strange antics and gesticulations, scrawling her prognostications upon stray slips of paper. But Benjamin Grimshaw is the main object of her attention. She hates him, and hates him all the more terribly because she once loved him.
Soon after the widow's return, Rose called at the cottage to condole with her over the death of her demented daughter, and the still absent son. "We all have our cross to bear, Mrs. Bordine. I believe, however, that the worst is past. I believe that August will return and vindicate his innocence in the courts." "Ah, bless you for that, Miss Rose," uttered the old lady, with tears in her old eyes.
My wife went towards her, but stopped and fell back into my arms at the sight of her demented look. My daughters gazed, and held up their trembling hands. "Speak to her," said Michael to his sisters; "she'll maybe heed you;" and he added, "Bell, it's Mary and Peggy," and dropping her hand, he went to lead Mary to her, while she stood like a statue on the spot.
He made a sign to the others, and, followed by them, walked slowly along the terrace, the while Boisrosé, who had risen to his feet, stood looking after him like one demented, muttering in a voice that went to my heart that it was a cruel jest, and that he had bled for the King, and the King made sport of him. Presently I touched him on the arm.
H , who is a gentleman of literary proclivities, and has, it is whispered, become somewhat demented in brooding over the Great American Novel not yet hatched, He had actually tried the effect of one of his chapters on me!
His head was thrown forward even more than his deformity compelled, his white teeth showed in a grimace of hatred; he was half-crouched, like an animal ready to spring. "Take up the sword, or I'll run you through the heart where you stand," he continued, in a hoarse whisper. "I will give you till I can count three. Then by the God in Heaven !" Fournel felt that he had to deal with a man demented.
By degrees the falseness of my position became clear to me, and this set me thinking. For a couple of weeks I was like one demented, and after that I ceased to feel proud of my false moral victory. At the first ironical remark on the part of my adversary I thrashed him until he became unconscious. This brought about an estrangement between Lande and myself.
