Reverently collecting them he washed away the gore and laid them on their biers, sending them to Athens. In an affecting scene Adrastus recognises and names the bodies. At this moment Evadne enters, wife of the godless Capaneus who was smitten by the thunderbolt; she is demented and wishes to find the body to die upon it.
Bring me back some of the hotel stationery, also, that I may compare it with that used for the letter." A discreet knock upon the door heralded the coming of an operative, in response to Blaine's touch upon the bell. "There has been a slight disturbance in the outer office, sir," he announced. "A man, who appears to be demented, insists upon seeing you.
He smiled kindly when he saw Rufe. Incongruously enough, he had a hammer in his hand. He was going down the ravine, tapping the rocks with it. And Rufe thought he looked for all the world like some over-grown, demented woodpecker. As Rufe still stood staring, the old gentleman held out his hand with a cordial gesture. "Come here, my little man!" he said in a kind voice. Rufe hesitated.
Then, at last, his brother found him, living quietly under an assumed name in a little town outside of Boston pretending that he hadn't a relative in the world. He told his brother he was just beginning to feel rested. Aunt Bell said he was demented. While he was away she'd been all through psychometry, the planchette, clairvoyance, palmistry, astrology, and Unitarianism. What are you, Bernal?"
What a relief, the fine morning on which they should put under ground this troublesome witness of the past, this specter of expiation and of waiting, who brought living before her the abominations of the family!

I listened to the golden tinkle on the greave plates; when he had finished I replied: "No, he is not vicious, nor is he in the least demented. His mind is a wonder chamber, from which he can extract treasures that you and I would give years of our life to acquire." Hawberk laughed.

The door was open, though he had not heard the knock, and with a spring Carmencita was beside him, holding his hands and dancing as if demented with a joy no longer to be held in restraint. "Oh, Mr. Van, I've almost died for fear I wouldn't find you in time!
"Hi diddi hulda hi ti ti!" they carolled in merry meaninglessness. "Nay, but this is second childhood," quoth the venerable Jacob Sasportas, chief Rabbi of the English Jews, as he sat in the presidential pew, an honored visitor at Hamburg.
