My
coolness
only
irritated
him
the
more
.
He
raved
,
he
cursed
,
he
shook
his
fists
in
my
face
,
and
then
suddenly
a
horrible
spasm
passed
over
his
features
,
he
clapped
his
hand
to
his
side
,
and
with
a
loud
cry
he
fell
in
a
heap
at
my
feet
.
I
raised
him
up
and
stretched
him
upon
the
sofa
,
but
no
answer
came
to
my
exclamations
,
and
the
hand
which
I
held
in
mine
was
cold
and
clammy
.
His
diseased
heart
had
broken
down
.
His
own
violence
had
killed
him
.
"
For
a
long
time
I
sat
as
if
I
were
in
some
dreadful
dream
,
staring
at
the
body
of
my
brother
.
I
was
aroused
by
the
knocking
of
Mrs
.
Woods
,
who
had
been
disturbed
by
that
dying
cry
.
I
sent
her
away
to
bed
.
Shortly
afterwards
a
patient
tapped
at
the
surgery
door
,
but
as
I
took
no
notice
,
he
or
she
went
off
again
.
Slowly
and
gradually
as
I
sat
there
a
plan
was
forming
itself
in
my
head
in
the
curious
automatic
way
in
which
plans
do
form
.
When
I
rose
from
my
chair
my
future
movements
were
finally
decided
upon
without
my
having
been
conscious
of
any
process
of
thought
.
It
was
an
instinct
which
irresistibly
inclined
me
towards
one
course
.
"
Ever
since
that
change
in
my
affairs
to
which
I
have
alluded
,
Bishop
’
s
Crossing
had
become
hateful
to
me
.
My
plans
of
life
had
been
ruined
,
and
I
had
met
with
hasty
judgments
and
unkind
treatment
where
I
had
expected
sympathy
.
It
is
true
that
any
danger
of
scandal
from
my
brother
had
passed
away
with
his
life
;
but
still
,
I
was
sore
about
the
past
,
and
felt
that
things
could
never
be
as
they
had
been
.
It
may
be
that
I
was
unduly
sensitive
,
and
that
I
had
not
made
sufficient
allowance
for
others
,
but
my
feelings
were
as
I
describe
.
Any
chance
of
getting
away
from
Bishop
’
s
Crossing
and
of
everyone
in
it
would
be
most
welcome
to
me
.
And
here
was
such
a
chance
as
I
could
never
have
dared
to
hope
for
,
a
chance
which
would
enable
me
to
make
a
clean
break
with
the
past
.
"
There
was
this
dead
man
lying
upon
the
sofa
,
so
like
me
that
save
for
some
little
thickness
and
coarseness
of
the
features
there
was
no
difference
at
all
.
No
one
had
seen
him
come
and
no
one
would
miss
him
.
We
were
both
clean
-
shaven
,
and
his
hair
was
about
the
same
length
as
my
own
.
If
I
changed
clothes
with
him
,
then
Dr
.
Aloysius
Lana
would
be
found
lying
dead
in
his
study
,
and
there
would
be
an
end
of
an
unfortunate
fellow
,
and
of
a
blighted
career
.
There
was
plenty
of
ready
money
in
the
room
,
and
this
I
could
carry
away
with
me
to
help
me
to
start
once
more
in
some
other
land
.
In
my
brother
’
s
clothes
I
could
walk
by
night
unobserved
as
far
as
Liverpool
,
and
in
that
great
seaport
I
would
soon
find
some
means
of
leaving
the
country
.
After
my
lost
hopes
,
the
humblest
existence
where
I
was
unknown
was
far
preferable
,
in
my
estimation
,
to
a
practice
,
however
successful
,
in
Bishop
’
s
Crossing
,
where
at
any
moment
I
might
come
face
to
face
with
those
whom
I
should
wish
,
if
it
were
possible
,
to
forget
.
I
determined
to
effect
the
change
.
"
And
I
did
so
.
I
will
not
go
into
particulars
,
for
the
recollection
is
as
painful
as
the
experience
;
but
in
an
hour
my
brother
lay
,
dressed
down
to
the
smallest
detail
in
my
clothes
,
while
I
slunk
out
by
the
surgery
door
,
and
taking
the
back
path
which
led
across
some
fields
,
I
started
off
to
make
the
best
of
my
way
to
Liverpool
,
where
I
arrived
the
same
night
.
My
bag
of
money
and
a
certain
portrait
were
all
I
carried
out
of
the
house
,
and
I
left
behind
me
in
my
hurry
the
shade
which
my
brother
had
been
wearing
over
his
eye
.
Everything
else
of
his
I
took
with
me
.
"
I
give
you
my
word
,
sir
,
that
never
for
one
instant
did
the
idea
occur
to
me
that
people
might
think
that
I
had
been
murdered
,
nor
did
I
imagine
that
anyone
might
be
caused
serious
danger
through
this
stratagem
by
which
I
endeavoured
to
gain
a
fresh
start
in
the
world
.
On
the
contrary
,
it
was
the
thought
of
relieving
others
from
the
burden
of
my
presence
which
was
always
uppermost
in
my
mind
.
A
sailing
vessel
was
leaving
Liverpool
that
very
day
for
Corunna
,
and
in
this
I
took
my
passage
,
thinking
that
the
voyage
would
give
me
time
to
recover
my
balance
,
and
to
consider
the
future
.
But
before
I
left
my
resolution
softened
.
I
bethought
me
that
there
was
one
person
in
the
world
to
whom
I
would
not
cause
an
hour
of
sadness
.
She
would
mourn
me
in
her
heart
,
however
harsh
and
unsympathetic
her
relatives
might
be
.
She
understood
and
appreciated
the
motives
upon
which
I
had
acted
,
and
if
the
rest
of
her
family
condemned
me
,
she
,
at
least
,
would
not
forget
.
And
so
I
sent
her
a
note
under
the
seal
of
secrecy
to
save
her
from
a
baseless
grief
.
If
under
the
pressure
of
events
she
broke
that
seal
,
she
has
my
entire
sympathy
and
forgiveness
.
"
It
was
only
last
night
that
I
returned
to
England
,
and
during
all
this
time
I
have
heard
nothing
of
the
sensation
which
my
supposed
death
had
caused
,
nor
of
the
accusation
that
Mr
.
Arthur
Morton
had
been
concerned
in
it
.
It
was
in
a
late
evening
paper
that
I
read
an
account
of
the
proceedings
of
yesterday
,
and
I
have
come
this
morning
as
fast
as
an
express
train
could
bring
me
to
testify
to
the
truth
.
