But when Christmas came, INDIGO 109 he was more languid and distrait than ever : he would talk of things and apparently wanted to do them, but when it came to execution, he fell to pieces. What was worse, his wife was very poorly, and they both left my Christmas party in bad health. The climax came when Mrs. Hirst died in March. Poor Hirst seemed utterly prostrated nerves all to pieces and I had him over to stay with me at Shiupur. I think the shock of losing his wife was aggravated by a touch ...of the sun from keeping his head uncovered too long at the funeral ; but anyhow his mental and physical states reacted on each other, and alarmed me, besides utterly baffling the Doctor Babu, who had no soul above aperients, bromides and sanatogen. At his previous visits, Hirst had at any rate eaten and slept well, though he did not smoke anything like as much as he did on his own factory. But now his appetite failed, he complained of bad nights, and the very smell of tobacco upset him. If he did nothing, he became miserable and des- pondent ; if he attempted anything continuous, he broke down and made a mess of it.
