Hewitt visits Wine Street Police station and encounters a French-speaking man described as a lunatic. The man, bruised and terrified, refuses bread and then eats cold beef when offered. Hewitt tries French to communicate, noting the stranger’s fragile condition and the officers' curiosity.
Hewitt and a doctor assess a Frenchman who cannot write or speak after a possible brain or nerve breakdown. The man reacts fearfully to bread, then shows limited comprehension while in a room, with a plan to move him to an infirmary for observation. The scene details aphasia and agraphia with a cautious, investigative tone.
