The conversation proceeded. The readiness of the fair-
haired young man in the cloak to answer all his opposite
neighbour’s questions was surprising. He seemed to have
no suspicion of any impertinence or inappropriateness in
the fact of such questions being put to him. Replying to
them, he made known to the inquirer that he certainly
had been long absent from Russia, more than four years;
that he had been sent abroad for his health; that he had
suffered from some strange nervous malady—a kind of
epilepsy, with convulsive spasms. His interlocutor burst
out laughing several times at his answers; and more than
ever, when to the question, ‘ whether he had been cured?’
the patient replied:
‘No, they did not cure me.’
