Brown reluctantly starts out this way, but happens to pass a lunatic asylum, where Mad Pete is confined. One day Mad Pete manages to escape and chases Brown twenty miles uphill and down dale, over fences and through hedges until the fat man falls utterly exhausted, thinking that Mad Pete is about to brain him then and there.
