11/17 At seven o'clock Mrs.Clear came to me with Ferruci, and brought back the cloak which I gave afterwards to Rhoda. She wanted to see her husband again, but I refused to let her risk the visit. Ferruci came to tell me that he was arranging to place Vrain--who was becoming too violent to be restrained--in the private asylum of Dr.Jorce, at Hampstead. Mrs.Clear was to go with him, and we conversed about the matter. There he was seen by Rhoda as he was about to climb the fence, and, not knowing it was the girl, he took fright and ran out of the yard into Jersey Street. |
