"Why didn't you tell me of this before, Helen? It must have been coming on for some time." "George, I didn't know what to do. And I had heard you say such terrible things about the duty of punishing crime." "Good gracious, Helen! where is your logic? What has crime to do with it! Is down-right stark-staring madness a crime? Anyone with half an eye can see the boy is mad!"

Not a sound disturbed the quiet of the room. Still not a sound. He gave the Broadwood two great bangs with his clenched first. All was still as the grave. The young barrister started to his feet.

Pinchin with Mortgages, and Deeds of Gift, and Loans at usurious interest, that he got at last the whole of his property from him, brought him in many thousands in debt besides, and, after keeping him for three years locked up and half-starved in the Compter, was only forced to consent to his enlargement when the unhappy little man whose head was never of the strongest, and his wits always going a wool-gathering went stark-staring mad, and was, by the City charity, removed to Bedlam Hospital in Moorfields.
