About
eight o'clock
_ Dr. Seward 's Diary . _ _ 19 August . _ -- Strange and sudden change in Renfield last night . About eight o'clock he began to get excited and sniff about as a dog does when setting . The attendant was struck by his manner , and knowing my interest in him , encouraged him to talk . He is usually respectful to the attendant and at times servile ; but to-night , the man tells me , he was quite haughty . Would not condescend to talk with him at all .
