At
last
I
took
my
courage
a
deux
mains
,
and
turning
the
handle
as
softly
as
I
could
,
I
opened
the
door
a
tiny
bit
.
It
was
quite
dark
within
;
I
could
just
see
the
outline
of
the
windows
.
But
in
the
darkness
the
sound
of
breathing
,
becoming
more
distinct
,
was
appalling
.
As
I
listened
,
this
continued
;
but
there
was
no
other
sound
.
I
pushed
the
door
open
all
at
once
.
I
was
afraid
to
open
it
slowly
;
I
felt
as
if
there
might
be
some
dreadful
thing
behind
it
ready
to
pounce
out
on
me
!
Then
I
switched
on
the
electric
light
,
and
stepped
into
the
room
.
I
looked
first
at
the
bed
.
The
sheets
were
all
crumpled
up
,
so
that
I
knew
Father
had
been
in
bed
;
but
there
was
a
great
dark
red
patch
in
the
centre
of
the
bed
,
and
spreading
to
the
edge
of
it
,
that
made
my
heart
stand
still
.
42
As
I
was
gazing
at
it
the
sound
of
the
breathing
came
across
the
room
,
and
my
eyes
followed
to
it
.
There
was
Father
on
his
right
side
with
the
other
arm
under
him
,
just
as
if
his
dead
body
had
been
thrown
there
all
in
a
heap
.
The
track
of
blood
went
across
the
room
up
to
the
bed
,
and
there
was
a
pool
all
around
him
which
looked
terribly
red
and
glittering
as
I
bent
over
to
examine
him
.
The
place
where
he
lay
was
right
in
front
of
the
big
safe
.
He
was
in
his
pyjamas
.
The
left
sleeve
was
torn
,
showing
his
bare
arm
,
and
stretched
out
toward
the
safe
.
It
looked
--
oh
!
so
terrible
,
patched
all
with
blood
,
and
with
the
flesh
torn
or
cut
all
around
a
gold
chain
bangle
on
his
wrist
.
I
did
not
know
he
wore
such
a
thing
,
and
it
seemed
to
give
me
a
new
shock
of
surprise
.

She
paused
a
moment
;
and
as
I
wished
to
relieve
her
by
a
moment
's
divergence
of
thought
,
I
said
:

"
Oh
,
that
need
not
surprise
you
.
You
will
see
the
most
unlikely
men
wearing
bangles
.
I
have
seen
a
judge
condemn
a
man
to
death
,
and
the
wrist
of
the
hand
he
held
up
had
a
gold
bangle
.
"
She
did
not
seem
to
heed
much
the
words
or
the
idea
;
the
pause
,
however
,
relieved
her
somewhat
,
and
she
went
on
in
a
steadier
voice
:
45
"
I
did
not
lose
a
moment
in
summoning
aid
,
for
I
feared
he
might
bleed
to
death
.
I
rang
the
bell
,
and
then
went
out
and
called
for
help
as
loudly
as
I
could
.
46
In
what
must
have
been
a
very
short
time
--
though
it
seemed
an
incredibly
long
one
to
me
--
some
of
the
servants
came
running
up
;
and
then
others
,
till
the
room
seemed
full
of
staring
eyes
,
and
dishevelled
hair
,
and
night
clothes
of
all
sorts
.

"
We
lifted
Father
on
a
sofa
;
and
the
housekeeper
,
Mrs.
Grant
,
who
seemed
to
have
her
wits
about
her
more
than
any
of
us
,
began
to
look
where
the
flow
of
blood
came
from
.
In
a
few
seconds
it
became
apparent
that
it
came
from
the
arm
which
was
bare
.
There
was
a
deep
wound
--
not
clean-cut
as
with
a
knife
,
but
like
a
jagged
rent
or
tear
--
close
to
the
wrist
,
which
seemed
to
have
cut
into
the
vein
.
Mrs.
Grant
tied
a
handkerchief
round
the
cut
,
and
screwed
it
up
tight
with
a
silver
paper-cutter
;
and
the
flow
of
blood
seemed
to
be
checked
at
once
.
By
this
time
I
had
come
to
my
senses
--
or
such
of
them
as
remained
;
and
I
sent
off
one
man
for
the
doctor
and
another
for
the
police
.
When
they
had
gone
,
I
felt
that
,
except
for
the
servants
,
I
was
all
alone
in
the
house
,
and
that
I
knew
nothing
--
of
my
Father
or
anything
else
;
and
a
great
longing
came
to
me
to
have
someone
with
me
who
could
help
me
.
Then
I
thought
of
you
and
your
kind
offer
in
the
boat
under
the
willow-tree
;
and
,
without
waiting
to
think
,
I
told
the
men
to
get
a
carriage
ready
at
once
,
and
I
scribbled
a
note
and
sent
it
on
to
you
.

She
paused
.
I
did
not
like
to
say
just
then
anything
of
how
I
felt
.
I
looked
at
her
;
I
think
she
understood
,
for
her
eyes
were
raised
to
mine
for
a
moment
and
then
fell
,
leaving
her
cheeks
as
red
as
peony
roses
.
49
With
a
manifest
effort
she
went
on
with
her
story
:
50
"
The
Doctor
was
with
us
in
an
incredibly
short
time
.
The
groom
had
met
him
letting
himself
into
his
house
with
his
latchkey
,
and
he
came
here
running
.
He
made
a
proper
tourniquet
for
poor
Father
's
arm
,
and
then
went
home
to
get
some
appliances
.
I
dare
say
he
will
be
back
almost
immediately
.
Then
a
policeman
came
,
and
sent
a
message
to
the
station
;
and
very
soon
the
Superintendent
was
here
.
Then
you
came
.
