Where I'm from there're lot of boys who've left a bit of their brain on the battlefield. Good respectable men. Men who now lose their senses from time to time...believe they're whizzbangs...Smash things...Scare people. 

Frightening thing when the brain goes. 

[There's the soft sound of a striking match as he lights a candle in his room]

What i'm getting at is...what exactly will this place do to the brain if we're 'ere too long?
