 * Asked, “How many years have you been at Bicêtre?” he replied, “Tois,” and raised eight fingers. “Have you any children?” “Oui”; “How many?” “Tois,” lifting four fingers. “How many boys?” “Tois,” lifting two fingers; “How many girls?” he again lifted two fingers. All these answers were exact. “Can you tell the time?” “Oui,” “What is it?” “Tois,” and he lifted ten fingers; it was in fact ten o’clock. When asked, “How old are you?” he did not lift his ten fingers eight times, and then add four, to make it eighty-four, as was expected; but he said “Tois,” first raising eight fingers and then four. As soon as he saw he was understood, he said, “Oui.”
