"Simple extrapolation told me that Bedlam might be next. I paid Mr. Stubbs to show especial vigilance. John Doe was captured a week ago. He has done his utmost, I am told, to keep up the façade of a raving lunatick. Now that he knows what treatment lunaticks may expect in Bedlam, he may confess to simple burglary." Daniel caught Stubbs’s eye—which was not easily done, as Stubbs was paralyzed with astonishment to see what was being dragged out of the walls. "Pray go to John Doe’s cell. Tell him nothing about what has really occurred. Rather, tell him that Dr. Waterhouse has knocked holes in all four corners, and found nothing —proof that Doe is a madman indeed, who may, therefore, look forward to a stay here of indefinite duration."
