1 Hardly know how to set a watch, since no one fit to go on.
2 The moment we were alone in the carriage he gave way to a regular fit of hysterics.
3 Then he held the door partly open, steadying it with his knees, whilst he fitted a key to the lock.
4 I am afraid, my dear, he has to invent it all, for it fits exactly into whatever else he has to say.
5 Then the thin man smile and say that of course he must go when he think fit; but he will be surprise if he go quite so soon.
6 I thought that the longer this went on the wilder he would get, and so would bring on a fit; so I took him by the hand and raised him up.
7 I went down to see if I could make out any cause for his anger, since he is usually such a well-behaved man, and except his violent fits nothing of the kind had ever occurred.
8 In the hours that had passed, the fits of sleep, or the comatose condition that passed for it, had grown more frequent, so that the pauses when conversation was possible were shortened.
9 You, gentlemen, who by nationality, by heredity, or by the possession of natural gifts, are fitted to hold your respective places in the moving world, I take to witness that I am as sane as at least the majority of men who are in full possession of their liberties.
