a sudden gust stronger than the others caught up the manuscript and board towards the window. I followed the flying sheets and desperation, but they were gone before I reached the demolished pains. Then I remembered my old wish to gaze from this window, the only window in the Rudisill from which one might see the slope beyond the wall in the sea, outspread beneath. It was very dark, but the city's lights always burned, and I expected to see them. They're admits the rain and the wind. Yet when I looked from that highest of all, gable windows looked by. The candles sputtered in the insane, vile howled with the night wind. I saw no city spread below and no friendly lights gleaming from the remembered streets, but only the blackness of space a limit hable unimagined space alive with motion and music and having no semblance to anything on earth.

When my hand touched his ear, I shuddered, though I know not why knew not why until I felt the still three ice cold stiffened un breathing face was glassy. Eyes bulged uselessly into the void. And then, by some miracle finding the door and the large wooden bolt, I plunged wildly away from the glassy eyed thing in the dark and a ghoulish howling, that accursed vile whose fury increased as I plunged, Yeah!
