Lovaway, though a young man and constitutionally timid, was capable of occasional firmness. "I'm certainly not going to certify that boy as a lunatic," he said. "Come now, doctor," said the sergeant persuasively, "after coming so far and the wet day and all. What have you to do only to put your name at the bottom of a piece of paper? And Jimmy's willing to go. Aren't you, Jimmy?"
Lovaway followed by the sergeant, entered the barrack. He needed no guiding to the room in which Molly lay. Her shrieks would have led a blind man to her bedside. Mrs. Doolan was stopped at the door by a burly constable. She shouted her last advice to the doctor as he climbed the stairs.
Dr. Farelly, like the Etruscans in Macaulay's poem, "could scare forbear to cheer." He walked jauntily back to his house, relit his pipe and sat down to read the rest of the letter.

"There you are now, doctor," said the sergeant. "You'll not refuse the poor boy when he wants to go?" "Sergeant," said Dr. Lovaway, "I can't, I really can't certify that boy is a lunatic. I don't understand why you ask me to. It seems to me " Poor Lovaway was much agitated.
"The sergeant is after sending me round to you, sir," said Constable Malone, "to know would it be convenient for you to attend at Ballygran any time this afternoon to certify a lunatic?" "Surely not another!" said Dr. Lovaway. "It was myself found him, sir," said the constable with an air of pride in his achievement.
