Helena

What's happened?

Nana

Another of them here has caught it. He began to smash up the statues and pictures in the drawing room, gnashed his teeth, foamed at the mouth—quite mad. Worse than an animal.

Helena

Which of them caught it?

Nana

The one—well, he hasn't got any Christian name. The one in charge of the library.

Helena

Radius?

Nana

That's him. My goodness, I'm scared of them. A spider doesn't scare me as much as them.

Helena

But, Nana, I'm surprised you're not sorry for them.
