Undone? Not a bit of it. Overdone, I should say, from the look of you. Don't be an old lunatic. Pull yourself together. Look here--(shaking him)--it's all right; I've found my other bottle; here it is. She'll be herself again in a few minutes. (MR. W: She won't, Ferdinand; it's all over. The body has been discovered and removed.) (having rushed to cupboard and inspected it). Good gracious! This is most serious. What infernal carelessness! Who did it? and who allowed it to be done? Do you know, you demented old ass, that in that state, my poor aunt was as brittle as glass; and if she's been dropped, or even knocked up against anything, or, for the matter of that, even jolted, she would break into ten thousand pieces! Who's to blame for this, I should, like to know?
