KING ARTHUR'S COURT The moment I got a chance I slipped aside privately and touched an ancient common looking man on the shoulder and said, in an insinuating, confidential way: “Friend, do me a kindness. Do you belong to the asylum, or are you just on a visit or something like that?” He looked me over stupidly, and said: “Marry, fair sir, me seemeth--” “That will do,” I said; “I reckon you are a patient.”
