I have known a man who would be terrified at the idea of crossing Trafalgar Square." "What is the cause of agoraphobia?" asked Barrant. "It is a nervous disorder one of the symptoms of advanced neurasthenia." "Did Robert Turold suffer from neurasthenia?"
Patients are not able to remain by themselves for even the shortest length of time. This morbid dread of being alone is sometimes so great that even the presence of an infant is an alleviation. Gelineau cites an instance in a man of forty-five which was complicated with agoraphobia. Bacillophobia is the result of abnormal pondering over bacteriology.
'I may be ass enough to walk into a ground-circuit, said Arnott, 'but I don't dismiss my Fleet till I'm reasonably sure that trouble is over. They're in position still, and I intend to keep 'em there till the Serviles are shipped out of the district. That last little crowd meant murder, my friends. 'Nerves! All nerves! said Pirolo. 'You cannot argue with agoraphobia.

MacDonough's Song may have had its uses when it was composed, but it was an infernal legacy for any man to leave behind. 'It's protective instinct, my dear fellows, said Pirolo, rolling a cigarette. 'The Planet, she has had her dose of popular government. She suffers from inherited agoraphobia. She has no ah use for Crowds. Dragomiroff leaned forward to give him a light.
The ordeal of living surrounded by the Grass, which had destroyed her assistants, seemed to have made no other change in her than the fading of her hair, which was now completely white, and a loss of weight, giving her a deceptive appearance of fragility at variance with the forthrightness of her manner. I put down her immunity to agoraphobia as just another evidence that she was already mad.
