" ...what of those whose home situations are maddening, so maddening that a lunatic asylum appears by comparison a sane and healthful place? It is a possibility that does not seem to have occurred to Browne: it is not that some people's minds are so fragile that they require the permanent protection of an institution but that some people's homes are crazier than institutions for the mad. Some households do not tolerate sanity. "
