During the whole of that day, and the one that | preceded it, I had been ritated by violent emotions, and now the lax seemed to have come, and my iniad was unable to support the weight. As we drove along, all sorts of strange images were presented to my eyes; some davk and terrible, some lightand ludi¢rous 5 all accompanied with a consciouness that they were not veal, that the sight which saw them was not sane.
