'He has become morose and taciturn, nnd'a "proy ;' to some terrible: anxieties. Insomnia has "• now been added to his other' troubles, ' and he often sits all njght in his room before an open window,, looking in the direction of Constantinople. Sometimes ■■ : after sitting alone for. a long time at his' . table, wrapped in ploomy meditation,' he strikes the table with his fist, ai|d cries, 'Italediction! Malediction!'
