conditions, a feeling of indignation against those who were able

to make and enforce these conditions arose in him; he was

inspector, the prisoners themselves, acted as if acknowledging

strangely depressed, conscious of how powerless he was, and at

variance with all the world. He was seized with a curious moral

sensation like seasickness.
