I can discover no trace of madness about you/and you seem to act and speak sensibly enough?" Said his guide: “It’s not a bit likely that you will detect any trace of lunacy in the head which you now see on my shoulders; for you must know that It is not my head at all. I only had It stuck on after I was guillotined during the Revolution.” The doctor was satisfied.
