When next we see our villain, he is confined to the institution, where he is slowly going crazy, not to mention acquiring an unkempt personal appearance. There are several tearful scenes with his parents (who are square and lawyers, but much easier to deal with than Brooke's elders).

He spoke out courageously against social injustice. In his later years, dressed in baggy clothes, his white hair as unkempt as a sheep dog's, he helped yourgsters with their geometry homework, still loved to sail, play Mozart melodies on the violin and scribble reams of doggerel.
