2 I recalled his singular conduct of yesterday, and really I began to fear his wits were touched.
3 It was mournful, indeed, to witness the subjugation of that vigorous spirit to a corporeal infirmity.
4 They set out early in the forenoon, some on horseback, the rest in carriages; I witnessed both the departure and the return.
5 Then I rose up on my curtainless bed, trembling and quivering; and then the still, dark night witnessed the convulsion of despair, and heard the burst of passion.
