They reached for Mulloy and Gallup with savage hands or sought to smite the two young men with clenched fists. "Great hemlock!" exclaimed Ephraim, as he thrust aside the outstretched hands or warded off blows. "What in thutteration's the matter with this bunch of lunatics!" "Down with them down with the aristocrats!" snarled the angry crowd. "Whoop!
"I guess our experiences have been pretty different. I've met lots, but then there are none of those boys here. Who is there in this place?" He paused and stared into space. "It must have been a tramp some one who doesn't belong here!" "I was trying to think whether there are any lunatics about," he said in a moment. "But there aren't any." There was silence for some minutes.
Appalling evidence was given before the Viceregal Commission and the Royal Commission on the Care and Control of the Feeble-minded with regard to the present association of lunatics, epileptics, and imbeciles with sane women and children in the workhouse wards.
Thoburn's speech, it made them babbling lunatics. As I look back, I have a sort of picture of Miss Summers on the floor with Arabella in her lap, and the rest telling how much of the water they had had and crowding around Mr. Thoburn.

He had been wont, in the days of his greatest insolence, to speak of the most eminent nobles as zanies, lunatics, and buffoons.
Their logomachy was far more stimulating to his intellect than the reserved and quiet dogmatism of Mr. Morse. These men, who slaughtered English, gesticulated like lunatics, and fought one another's ideas with primitive anger, seemed somehow to be more alive than Mr. Morse and his crony, Mr. Butler.
"Now what do you suppose has happened there this time? Can't we ever take a little saunter through the woods without the camp being made the theater for all sorts of strange dramas wildcats, lunatics, and now what?" exclaimed Jerry. "I think it would be just as well for us to sprint along and find out. That Toby seems fated to get into the queerest scrapes ever heard of.
