You know I don't mean to say anything that will reflect on your specialty, but you never did see a case of only nerves put a healthy young girl in bed and keep her there suffering so that I've had to give her aspirin a hundred times and even morphin by hypodermic to get her quiet, and off and on for five years she's had ten, and sometimes fifteen grains of veronal at midnight, nights when she couldn't get to sleep.
"Probably not; but you've had some more balanced intervening ones, or I should have found you dead with veronal, or some other filthy thing before this, with your highly strung nerves! I am not really alarmed about you though, Stepan you are fundamentally sane." "I am glad you think that very few English understand us " "Because you don't understand yourselves.
"Not Sir Lucien?" "Oh, no. But both of them had been before." "What was Kazmah's connection with Mrs. Sin and her husband?" "I have no idea, Inspector. Kazmah used to supply cocaine and veronal and trional and heroin, but those who wanted to smoke opium he sent to Mrs. Sin." "What! he gave them her address?" "No, no! He gave her their address." "I see. She called?" "Yes.
Hannaford was lying as if asleep in bed, but stone cold; and the doctor they sent for said he must have been dead for hours. In his hand was a volume of Omar Khayyam, with a faded white rose for a book marker. There was a bottle half full of veronal tabloids on the table by the bedside; and he was known to be in the habit of taking veronal, as he was a bad sleeper.
"Come, buck up, old thing," she said, with an affectation of brusque good-humour: "you haven't been sleeping. Isn't that it?" "Yes. I'll never sleep any more." "And you're taking Veronal?" "Yes, sometimes. Oh, don't bully me, Tony! I'm done." "I should think you were, to come and tell a woman beastly stories about her own daughter! You'll be sorry to-morrow.
I have thought for a long time that the authorities must know the names of the receivers and distributors of cocaine, veronal, opium, and the other drugs, huge quantities of which find their way regularly to the West End of London. Pharmacists sometimes experience the greatest difficulty in obtaining the drugs which they legitimately require, and the prices have increased extraordinarily.
Did you tell her this beautiful idea by way of making yourself engaging?" "I told her yes." "And she didn't knock you down? Upon my word, I am surprised. Now look here, Gerald; you must go. I'm going to dress. We are going to the Cassowary's ball. You'd better go to bed and try to sleep without any Veronal. Will you? Will you, Gerry, poor old boy?"
"It was established at the inquest I got all the documents out after I received your letter that he was in the habit of taking veronal. You suggest he was murdered. If he was, for what? He left the girl about six thousand pounds." "Briggerland thought she was going to get it all," said Jack. "That is conjecture," interrupted the chief. "Go on."
Morphia, opium, cannabis Indica, cocaine, heroin, veronal and sulphonal act less equally, need larger doses, tempt more rapidly to increase of dose, and, where the patient knows what drug he has taken, lead, in a certain proportion of cases, very quickly to an ineradicable habit.
She wouldn't admit that she knew the flasks contained cocaine or veronal, but she did admit that her mistress had been addicted to the drug habit for several years. It began when she was on the stage." "Ah, yes," murmured the Assistant Commissioner; "she was Rita Dresden, was she not 'The Maid of the Masque' A very pretty and talented actress. A pity a great pity.
