Then the physician began rubbing the back of his neck, as men do when absorbed in anxious thoughts. He shivered.
“In that case, my dear brother,” his companion commented, “it is a mighty good thing for the rest of us that you have him locked up here in this insane asylum. How long has he been confined?”
“Five years,” was the reply. “By a curious coincidence, I took charge of this institution on the very day he arrived in a straitjacket and was promptly taken to a padded cell.”
