Yate-Westbury's, the well-known specialist on mental diseases. She sent up no card and gave no name. On the contrary, she kept her veil down and it was a very thick one. But Dr. Yate-Westbury made no comment on this reticence; it was a familiar occurrence with him people are often ashamed to have it known they consult a mad-doctor. "I want to ask you about my husband's case," Mrs.
What if he were really being shadowed, not by a police agent but by a mad-doctor? To have the truth out, he suddenly determined to call on Dr. Stell. The physician received him kindly, and reverted without embarrassment to the conditions of their previous meeting. "We have to do that occasionally, Mr. Granice; it's one of our methods. And you had given Allonby a fright." Granice was silent.
The poor man blushed perfectly crimson during this explanation, as if he had come with the most improper proposal; and I noticed the only interesting thing about him a very odd nervous frown between his eyebrows, a perfect double gash, a thing which usually means something abnormal: a mad-doctor of my acquaintance calls it the maniac-frown.

You can understand that there was something more than her life and mine at stake." "I never knew exactly how it happened," I replied.
"My young friend," he said, "she told me all about it that you had a delusion about some supposed sister, whom you accused her of carrying off." "This is outrageous," said Jack, hotly. "That's what all my patients say." "And you are a mad-doctor?" "Yes." "Then you know by my looks that I am not crazy." "Pardon me, my young friend; that doesn't follow.
