the sun at midday
Two days later I inquired after his welfare of the Superintendent of the Asylum . `` He was admitted suffering from sunstroke . He died early yesterday morning , '' said the Superintendent . `` Is it true that he was half an hour bareheaded in the sun at midday ? '' `` Yes , '' said I , `` but do you happen to know if he had anything upon him by any chance when he died ? '' `` Not to my knowledge , '' said the Superintendent . And there the matter rests .
