I shall look up Thomas Snelling today.
DR.SEWARD'S DIARY.
1 October .-- It was towards noon when I was awakened by the Professor walking into my room.

He was more jolly and cheerful than usual, and it is quite evident that last night's work has helped to take some of the brooding weight off his mind.
After going over the adventure of the night he suddenly said, "Your patient interests me much.

May it be that with you I visit him this morning?
Or if that you are too occupy, I can go alone if it may be.
It is a new experience to me to find a lunatic who talk philosophy, and reason so sound." I had some work to do which pressed, so I told him that if he would go alone I would be glad, as then I should not have to keep him waiting, so I called an attendant and gave him the necessary instructions.
Before the Professor left the room I cautioned him against getting any false impression from my patient.
"But," he answered, "I want him to talk of himself and of his delusion as to consuming live things.

He said to Madam Mina, as I see in your diary of yesterday, that he had once had such a belief.

Why do you smile, friend John ?" "Excuse me," I said, "but the answer is here." I laid my hand on the typewritten matter.
