"Seems you've been going to the extreme in this, um, practice of yours," said Dr. Franklin gravely.
Henri stared up at him and said nothing.
"What I don't understand is why you are doing this? It is very dangerous and harmful to your body," said Dr. Franklin.
"It's also in the terms of crazy, insane, mad, demented, deranged, irrational..." rambled on James.
Sarah cut him off, "THANK-YOU James. I'm sure we get it. Dr. Franklin," she turned to him, "I am just as confused and cannot comprehend the reasons behind Henri's doings. We must help him!"
"Well, I'll see what I can do," he assured her.
"I don't vant 'elp from any of you! I'll 'elp myself!!" yelled Henri angrily.
"You really are having mood swings today," James commented, a little scared of Henri.
"James... leave him be. How could you torment the poor child so?" said an enraged Sarah.
As Henri scowled at the 'child' remark, James was silent.
Dr. Franklin cleared his throat, "I believe the best thing to do is have him take a nap. He's dreadfully tired. Heaven knows even I wouldn't be able to answer any question thrown at me if I were as tired as him."
"Good idea. I'll get his bed ready," agreed Moses.
James crossed his arms, "But what if he sneaks out and... does suicide or something? I mean... can we trust him?" he looked at Henri uncertainly.
"My goodness, James! Do you really think Henri would do that? He's almost asleep right now. And besides, he wouldn't just go off and do something like that. That's not like him... or how I thought before he did this..." Sarah drifted off and suddenly went up the stairs to help with the blankets leaving James, Dr. Franklin, and of course, Henri.
"James, why don't you go out and take a walk? It'll do you a world of good," advised Dr. Franklin.
"Well..." he took another glimpse at Henri, "okay." He grabbed his jacket and opened the door, "I'll be back when I think it's safe." He left.
Dr. Franklin turned to Henri to see he was nearly asleep – his yelling earlier probably took his last ounce of energy. Most likely haven't heard a word of the past conversation. He was very concerned of the French boy who was now growing into a young man. He never imagined this would happen when he first took him in so long ago...
