chief director, feeling sure that in
few weeks my mental equilibrium would
be restored
I returned home and had no trouble
in persuading my wife of the necessity for
a journey. She had remarked certain in
quietudes certain bizarreries that change
of scene and surroundings would dispel,
she said.
The next day I entered the maison de
Observation-Disclosures. 1t was luxurious
and well located. 1t was very expensive
but-barabi That cursed refrain! 1t
maddens mel And why? why?
1 remained there three months. At the
end of a fortnight 1 simulated a violent
excess of delirium. 1 threw myself upon
one of the assistants, and nearly stran-
gled him. Afterwards l underwent the
punishment of the douche, twisting my
self about like a man in commissions. Then
l became calm, and little by little resum-
ed my natural state. 1 was watched con-
stantly for six weeks. Not one day did
Monsieur Laussedat fail to pay me
visit, and soon he reported a sensible
amelioration in my condition. l laughed
a low laugh all within myself. Those wise
doctors!
I knew he was very much fiattered be-
cause the case fitted exactly with a pet
theory of his regarding the cure of the
insane by an exercise of their own will.
He felicitated me on my energy and en-
couraged me to perseVere. For my part
I exhibited an exemplary docility. 1 kept
carefully in the current of the imaginary
symptoms which pronounced my cure to
be near at hand and definite.
One day the doctor told me that could
return to my family without apprehen-
sion. I asked that 1 might remain an
other month to make sure, and he granted
my request adding, however, that 1t was
a useless precaution.
Finally. / accepted my liberty and re-
turned home. My wife and sister-in-law,
my friends feted my arrival. avOwed
half the truth to them-told them I had
70 coll n I'M mr. on q
ton of the lungs, of which I had mot
spoken fearing to alarm them, but that 1
was entirely convalescent. The fact was
l never looked better in my life.
Hold! Where am now? Barabi-bi-
bu-ba-bibari-one, two, three-bibari!
There is something the matter with my
head.
Four months after I had resumed my
place at the table de famille, my sister
in-law being seated at my left, l plunged
a knife into her heart-then, raising
frightful shriekes, rolled upon the floor.
The outburst endured-appeared to en-
dure-fve minutes or more when l came
to myself and began to weep.
/ was arrested. No one except NJ. Laus-
sedat was able to suspect the cause of my
crime. Just at the moment of the catas-
trophe, for which l had carefully selected
the hour, the doctor was absent from
Paris. so that the investigation followed
its course.
To the question of the magistrate, I re-
piled that I had acted without volition in
the affair under the impulse of a passion
that I was not able to Withstand Natur-
ally, IL was responded that l simulated in
sanity. Then, as though yielding to
shame, 1 spoke of NJ. Laussedat He was
hurriedly summoned.
With a loyalty that / lad we'll counted
on, he told all that had passed. He spoke
of my frankness, of which I had given so
many proofs, Of the superhuman efforts
