him to the institution, where he in
troduced me, and said l would favor
my hearers with something gay and
happy.
Il hadn't intended to do this. but,
following his suggestion, l PLAYED a
brilliant Slav composition, which 1
hoped would be joyous enough. The
crazy folk were all seated about the
platform in chairs, and seemed to be
intensely interested. As l finished, a
very pretty young woman rose and
beckoned to me. / thought, artist
like, that she wanted am encore, and
SO said to the doctor:
Ask her what she DESIRES
"He rose to his feet, and was about
to question her. when she exclaimed:
To think of the likes of me being
in here and he being at large in the
world!
THAT was the last time ever play
ed in an insane asylum"
