I asked. "Perhaps it's only the pathologists again," said Minver. "The alienists, rather more specifically," said Wanhope. "They recognize it as one of the beginnings of insanit folie des grandeurs as the French call the stage." "Is it necessarily that?" Rulledge demanded, with a resentment which we felt so droll in him that we laughed. "I don't know that it is," said Wanhope.
While I sat chatting with her it struck me that in the blank state of her mind certain things stood out very prominently a mental state well known to alienists while others were entirely blotted out. I referred to the millionaire who lived in Stretton Street, but again she declared, and with truth, that she had no recollection of him.
All this drama of a foundering intelligence, complicated by bizarre contradictions, is developed with a penetrating power of analysis. Andreyev tells us that on the day of judgment the alienists are divided as to the insanity of Kerzhenzev. The story ends at this place.
"After listening many times to the testimony of expert alienists in court trials I have come to the conclusion that all the folks in the world are crazy, son, or else nobody is ever crazy. I don't think I'll express any opinion on the Prophet. I might find myself qualifying as an alienist expert. I'd hate to!"
Even if he did believe me, he'd never let me see it his instinct would be to cover the whole thing up... But in that case if he did believe me he might think it a kindness to get me shut up in an asylum..." Granice began to tremble again. "Good heaven! If he should bring in an expert one of those damned alienists! Ascham and Pettilow can do anything their word always goes.
Many alienists, on the contrary, believe the city more in need of mind-conserving activities, and, although there is no satisfactory basis for comparison, it would seem as a result of the data gathered by the last census that their conclusion is reasonable in light of the evidence we have at present regarding conditions in this country.
It appeared clear that it was their intention either to discredit me, as the leader of the agitation, by casting doubt upon my sanity, or else to intimidate us into retreating from the hunger strike. After the examination by the alienists, Commissioner Gardner, with whom I had previously discussed our demand for treatment as political prisoners, made another visit.
One day it's going to break, and I'll be flooded with it. It's a most uncanny feeling, old girl. One of the chaps here a rather mad American says that there are people who've broken that dyke down Shakespeare, for instance. He says they're being used a lot by some German and American alienists in curing all sorts of neuroses. I want you to understand them, and if you don't I'll explain as I go on.
The second hunt and the third and the fourth were fruitless as his first one had been; Trencher's luck piece was gone. Those wise men, the alienists, say that all of us are insane on certain subjects, however sane we may be upon other subjects. Certainly in the mental composition of every one of us is some quirk, some vagary, some dear senseless delusion, avowed or private.
She took him to a specialist in London. Arthur thoroughly enjoyed this desolating trip. The specialist talked vaguely, leaving her nothing but the faintest gleam of hope. There were more things in heaven and earth, he said, than were dreamed of in the philosophy of the most distinguished alienists. He talked indefinitely of internal secretions.
