The Case of the Demented Daughter

What's the matter? What is it? It's a case for Nick Carter, Master Detective. Yes, it's another case for that both famous of all man hunters. The detective whose ability at solving crime is unequaled in the history of detective fiction.

Nick Carter, Master Detective. But it's not cool, June, darling. Don't you suppose I'd know it if you were going crazy? But why do I hear these noises all the time? Why am I so cold when it's really warm in here?

Listen, June, you're just working yourself up over nothing. No, why don't you tell that? Alec told me my mother acted the same way, Stella. My husband didn't mean that. The said mother heard noises like thunder in her ears.

He told me that she was cold and shivering no matter what the temperature was. Alec told me that. Well, isn't it that true? It doesn't. It doesn't. I'll kill myself before I let them take you away.

I won't go to an asylum. I won't. I won't. A young girl convinced that she is going insane. A fiancé who is not convinced, who doubts that it can be true in spite of the evidence, an appeal to Nick Carter, master detective, the uncovering of a strange and unnatural plot, not for money, not for power, but for hate.

This is the story unfolded in the case of the demented doctor. That, Mr. Randy Wyatt, I made a date for him to see you at 1030. Is Mr. Carter here yet? Yes, he is. Want to come in?

Thank you. Mr. Carter? Yes. I'm Randy Wyatt. Your father and mine used to be pretty good friends. That's why I'm taking the liberty of asking you to help me now. Why, no liberty at all.
