The next morning there was a most unusual outorjl
in the Doctor's house. The last thing hefore going to
bed, the Doctor had locked up some . valuables in the
dining-room cupboard ; and behold, when he rose again,
as he did about four o'clock, the cupboard had been
broken open, and the valuables in question had disap-
peared. Madame and Jean- Marie were summoned from
their rooms, and appeared in hasty toilets ; they found
the Doctor raving, calling the heavens to witness and
avenge his injury, pacing the room bare-footed, with
the tails of his night-shirt flirting as he turned.
