Now Traverse particularly wished to study the various phases of mental

derangement, a department of his professional education that had

hitherto been opened to him only through books.

He explained this to his old friend, the French physician, who

immediately went off into ecstatic exclamations of joy as, "Good!

Great! Grand!" and "I shall now repay my good child! my dear son! for

his so excellent skill!"

The terms of the engagement were soon arranged, and Traverse prepared

to accompany his new friend to his "beautiful retreat," the private

madhouse. But Traverse wrote to his mother and to Clara in Virginia,

and also to Herbert Greyson in Mexico, to apprise them of his good

fortune.
