You were only introduced to Miss Rawson and myself to-night. You must be mad!" "No, I am quite sane. And I say them upon the best authority," Count Roumovski continued, "because I love Miss Rawson myself, and I am deeply honored by believing that in return she loves me not you at all.
Considerations of this kind, if duly realised, bring out clearly the insincerity and the unreality of much of our professed belief. Hardly any sane man would desire to suppress Bank Holidays simply because they are the occasion of a considerable number of cases of drunkenness which would not otherwise have taken place.
Living, sane, and scientifically trained men now, not to speak of ingenious, and intelligent, if superstitious observers in the past, and Catholic gleaners of contemporary evidence for saintly miracle, and witnesses, judges, and juries in trials for witchcraft, are undeniably all 'in the same tale'.
Yet then He had spoken to men; now it was Man Himself speaking. It was not one man who spoke there, it was Man Man conscious of his origin, his destiny, and his pilgrimage between, Man sane again after a night of madness knowing his strength, declaring his law, lamenting in a voice as eloquent as stringed instruments his own failure to correspond. It was a soliloquy rather than an oration.
But now, as if the true passion, the vital principle, asserted itself at the very last, so with the shadow of death behind him, his real nature was dominant. He was entirely sane, entirely natural, only malicious.
It never has been done by the medical profession, as a whole, which is fairly understandable, or by any group of medical men, which is the more surprising, but it would be an extremely interesting thing to have done and a material contribution to the sane discussion of this problem.

To them it seems that there is an essential identity between the gossip and the genius. In both, the mental processes work with the same tendency to reproduce every fragment of past experience, because both think by what is known as "total recall." From the thought of one thing their minds pass to all sorts of remote connections, sane and silly, rational and grotesque, relevant and irrelevant.
"There are such marriages ?" The question was diffidently and timidly put. He answered: "Assuredly there are. But not between those who are physically and mentally, sane and healthy men and women, at least, in my experience. One case, of three I am at liberty to quote, was that of an aged and wealthy woman of position and a young and rising public man." "Were weren't they happy?"
Only for a minute I thought I'd close my eyes and rest, and then then " "This?" She nodded. "Same here," said he. "What the deuce can have struck us? Us and everybody and everything? Talk about your problems! Lucky I'm sane and sound, and and " He did not finish, but fell once more to studying the incomprehensible prospect.
