Smith, differing from all others, apparently sees aberration as a cause of sudden vanishings: You have heard of some eccentric man of fortune in England, who, 'without giving his family or friends the least intimation of his intentions, made it a practice to disappear for some weeks, and the first letters they received from him were dated from the wilds of the American continent, or from the interior parts of Asia.28 The most prolific single motive for flight is the bruised heart.
