“This beats anything I have ever seen or
heard,” said the old village Doctor as they
walked across the churchyard. “And this
last rigid spasm of the muscles of laughter,
this hideous risus sardonicus, do you mean
to say it often occurs in tetanus?”
“Often enough,” said the other, “I have
seen it several times. There have been, as
you know, an appalling number of cases of
tetanus, both with the English and the
French. I am sorry that this man is dead, I
wish he had been spared to his country, a
dozen Socialists as far gone as he are worth
a whole brigade for breaking down the
stronghold of Prussian militarism. Did you
see the glare in his eye when he started
cursing the War Lord? If, as he said, they
are to meet in another world, no doubt he
will see to it that the Kaiser gets a warm
reception on his arrival in that place. I
wonder who he was; for all we know he may
have been one of the leaders of his party;
his flowery and rather theatrical way of
speaking points to his being accustomed to
address a larger audience than he had to-day.”
