There would be no end to the loss of life until some measure of sanity had been argued into crazed humanity. All the time he kept wondering. What was doing all this awful business? He surmised that some anti-gravitational agency was responsible for the levitation of the Vandercook building, but what sort of intelligence was directing it? Was the intelligence human? Bestial? Maniacal?
He then took an hasty and solemn leave of each person, and, before their surprize would allow them to understand the scene, he rushed to the edge of the cliff, threw himself headlong, and was seen no more. "In the course of my practice in the German army, many cases, equally remarkable, have occurred. Unquestionably the illusions were maniacal, though the vulgar thought otherwise.
They made all the signals they could devise to induce the people who still remained on the wreck to quit it, but they soon found by the wretches' frantic gestures and maniacal shouts that they also had got hold of a cask of spirits, and were in as bad a condition as their comrades.
While a few mugwumps, like Josef Phewlitzer and Apollyon Halicarnassus Below, and tearful Miss Nancys of the Anglo- maniacal school, are protesting that this country wants peace, Congress, that faithful mirror of public opinion, if not always the repository of wisdom, proves that it is eager for war.
Frank looked at him for a moment piteously, and then burst into a strange laugh. "Eh, hallo!" cried the doctor; "don't laugh in that maniacal way, boy. Have I got hold of the pig by the wrong tail? Bah! I mean the wrong tail by the pig. Nonsense! nonsense! I mean the wrong pig by Oh, I see now. Why, Frank, my boy, of course. Ah, poor lad! poor lad! Murray has been telling me.
Even the wild story of the incident which had immediately occasioned the explosion of this madness the case of a man unknown, gloomy, and perhaps maniacal himself, coming out of a forest at noonday, laying his hand upon the bridle of the king's horse, checking him for a moment to say, "Oh, king, thou art betrayed," and then vanishing, no man knew whither, as he had appeared for no man knew what fell in with the universal prostration of mind that laid France on her knees, as before the slow unweaving of some ancient prophetic doom.
I knew you would come to it sooner or later. Oh, what rides we will have together!" Her face beamed. "Preserve us!" said Hugh; "Melbourne is not responsible for developing maniacal symptoms in me, I assure you. It's for you, of course." "You mad boy," said Kate, "haven't I already the best you could buy?"
"Your father would never admit that what he knows to be true of bees is equally true of humanity. You can trust the police to keep a pretty sharp eye on Siddle, of course, but the present is a strenuous period, both for us and for people with maniacal tendencies, so accidents may happen." "You have distressed me immeasurably," said the girl, striving to pierce the mask of that inscrutable face.
For a few seconds, which to her seemed an eternity, she remained here, crouching beside the dead body of this unfortunate man, trying in vain in her confused mind to conjecture what had brought Béla here, instead of the young Count, within the reach of Leopold's maniacal jealousy and revenge. But her brain was too numbed for reasoning and for coherent thought.
Brand could never be brought to look at matters in this light. The thought that she had injured her first-born son had taken possession of her completely, and seriously disturbed the balance of her faculties.
