The mystery in the boy's eyes stirred her and the sound of his voice... there was something in it... beauty, wonder mystery. She drew a quick breath. "I think I will go in," she said, and the boy lifted himself to help her and only left her, under the loggia, with a quick, grateful flash of the dark smile. Mrs. Philip Harris slept that night the chloral, on the little table beside her, untouched.
When he realized this he replaced it with chloral; but chloral, which should create a desire to sleep, after several days had no more effect than the bromide. Then he tried injections of morphine.
"Arundel Street. "Dear Sir, Your very singular case has interested me extremely. The bottle which you sent contained a strong solution of chloral, and the quantity which you describe yourself as having swallowed must have amounted to at least eighty grains of the pure hydrate. This would of course have reduced you to a partial state of insensibility, gradually going on to complete coma.
"Chloral," replied Miss Kendall in a low voice aside. "I suppose she has had a wild night which she has followed by chloral to quiet her nerves, with little effect. Didn't you ever see them? They will go into a drug store in this part of the city where such things are sold, weak, shaky, nervous wrecks. The clerk will sell them the stuff and they will retire for a moment into the telephone booth.

It woos you to its heart with the subtlety of a siren. It is a combination of Delilah, green Chartreuse, Beethoven, chloral and John L. in his best days. In other cities you may wander and abide as a stranger man as long as you please.
But I made you talk, I made you squirm, eh? And then, when I was sick of your platitudes just a nod to Stord, and three little drops of chloral in your glass! "Do you want to know what happened next? I'll lay that you've wondered many a time just what happened after you had so strangely dropped asleep, with your head in your plate. Well, I'll tell you what happened.
