as what Mrs. Broderick
was.
_Mrs. Broderick:_ I made away when I saw him. My chest is not the
better of it yet. Since I left off fretting I got gross. I am that
nervous I would run from a blessed sheep, let alone a dog.
_Shawn Early:_ To see any of the signs of madness upon him, it is
Mr. Halvey the sergeant would look to for to make his report.
_Hyacinth Halvey:_ So I would make a report.
_Peter Tannian:_ Is it that you lay down you can see signs? Is
that the learning they were giving you in Carrow?
_Mrs. Broderick:_ Don't be speaking with him at all. It is easy
know the signs. A person to be laughing and mocking, and that would
not have the same habits with yourself, or to have no fear of things
you would be in dread of, or to be using a different class of food.
_Peter Tannian:_ I use no food but clean food.
_Hyacinth Halvey:_ To be giddy in the head is a sign, and to be
talking of things that passed years ago.
_Peter Tannian:_ I am talking of nothing but the thing I have a
right to talk of.
_Mrs. Broderick:_ To be nervous and thinking and pausing, and
playing with knicknacks.
_Peter Tannian:_ It never was my habit to be playing with
knicknacks.
_Bartley Fallon:_ When the master in the school where I was went
queer, he beat me with two clean rods, and wrote my name with my own
blood.
_Mrs. Broderick:_ To take the shoe off their foot, and to hit out
right and left with it, bawling their life out, tearing their clothes,
scattering and casting them in every part; or to run naked through
the town, and all the people after them.
_Shawn Early:_ To be jumping the height of trees they do be, and
all the people striving to slacken them.
_Hyacinth Halvey:_ To steal prayer-books and rosaries, and to be
saying prayers they never could keep in mind before.
_Mrs. Broderick:_ Very strong, that they could leap a
wall--jumping and pushing and kicking--or to tie people to one
another with a rope.
_Shawn Early:_ Any fear of any person here being violent, Mr.
Halvey will get him put under restraint.
_Peter Tannian:_ Is it myself you are thinking to put under
restraint? Would a man would be pushing and kicking and tearing his
clothes, be able to do arithmetic on a board? Look now at that.
_(Chalks figures on door.)_ Three and three makes six!--and three--
_Mrs. Broderick:_ I'm no hand at figuring, but I can say out a
blessed hymn, what any person with the mind gone contrary in them
could not do.
