But still, by all that we could ever learn, Sir Alexander had no taste for the abstract upon any subject; and would have read, as mere delirious wanderings, those philosophic opinions which Coleridge fastened like wings upon his respectable, but astounded, shoulders. We really beg pardon for having laughed a little at these crazes of Coleridge.
I don't know what your religious or political crazes are, and it doesn't matter, but I have rather more power here than an English magistrate, and if you move again, by the Lord I'll send you in irons to Winnipeg for attempted murder. Mr. Lorimer, I am not inclined to thank you, but if you have any explanation you had better give it to him."

Even after she had left the room, the atmosphere which she had created seemed to linger behind her. "I have never rightly understood Miss Abbeway," the Bishop declared. "She is a most extraordinarily brilliant young woman." Lord Shervinton assented. "To-night you have Catherine Abbeway," he expounded, "as she might have been but for these queer, alternating crazes of hers art and socialism.
Taken in sufficient quantities, the drug tends to produce a homicidal mania in the consumer, at the same time leaving him in supersensitive control of his faculties. Mind and body are unnaturally stimulated by it. Whisky numbs a man's mind and makes his hands unsteady; cocaine not only crazes him, but lends him accuracy in shooting.
