Ammi
would
give
me
no
added
particulars
to
this
scene
,
but
the
shape
in
the
corner
does
not
reappear
in
his
tale
as
a
moving
object
.
There
are
things
which
can
not
be
mentioned
,
and
what
is
done
in
common
humanity
is
sometimes
cruelly
judged
by
the
law
.
I
gathered
that
no
moving
thing
was
left
in
that
attic
room
,
and
that
to
leave
anything
capable
of
motion
there
would
have
been
a
deed
so
monstrous
as
to
damn
any
accountable
being
to
eternal
torment
.
Anyone
but
a
stolid
farmer
would
have
fainted
or
gone
mad
,
but
Ammi
walked
conscious
through
that
low
doorway
and
locked
the
accursed
secret
behind
him
.
There
would
be
Nahum
to
deal
with
now
;
he
must
be
fed
and
tended
,
and
removed
to
some
place
where
he
could
be
cared
for
.
Commencing
his
descent
of
the
dark
stairs
,
Ammi
heard
a
thud
below
him
.
He
even
thought
a
scream
had
been
suddenly
choked
off
,
and
recalled
nervously
the
clammy
vapour
which
had
brushed
by
him
in
that
frightful
room
above
.
What
presence
had
his
cry
and
entry
started
up
?
Halted
by
some
vague
fear
,
he
heard
still
further
sounds
below
.
Indubitably
there
was
a
sort
of
heavy
dragging
,
and
a
most
detestably
sticky
noise
as
of
some
fiendish
and
unclean
species
of
suction
.
With
an
associative
sense
goaded
to
feverish
heights
,
he
thought
unaccountably
of
what
he
had
seen
upstairs
.
Good
God
!
What
eldritch
dream-world
was
this
into
which
he
had
blundered
?
He
dared
move
neither
backward
nor
forward
,
but
stood
there
trembling
at
the
black
curve
of
the
boxed-in
staircase
.
Every
trifle
of
the
scene
burned
itself
into
his
brain
.
The
sounds
,
the
sense
of
dread
expectancy
,
the
darkness
,
the
steepness
of
the
narrow
steps
--
and
merciful
heaven
!
...
the
faint
but
unmistakable
luminosity
of
all
the
woodwork
in
sight
;
steps
,
sides
,
exposed
laths
,
and
beams
alike
!
Then
there
burst
forth
a
frantic
whinny
from
Ammi
's
horse
outside
,
followed
at
once
by
a
clatter
which
told
of
a
frenzied
runaway
.
In
another
moment
horse
and
buggy
had
gone
beyond
earshot
,
leaving
the
frightened
man
on
the
dark
stairs
to
guess
what
had
sent
them
.
But
that
was
not
all
.
There
had
been
another
sound
out
there
.
A
sort
of
liquid
splash
--
water
--
it
must
have
been
the
well
.
He
had
left
Hero
untied
near
it
,
and
a
buggy-wheel
must
have
brushed
the
coping
and
knocked
in
a
stone
.
And
still
the
pale
phosphorescence
glowed
in
that
detestably
ancient
woodwork
.
God
!
how
old
the
house
was
!
Most
of
it
built
before
1670
,
and
the
gambrel
roof
not
later
than
1730
.
A
feeble
scratching
on
the
floor
downstairs
now
sounded
distinctly
,
and
Ammi
's
grip
tightened
on
a
heavy
stick
he
had
picked
up
in
the
attic
for
some
purpose
.
Slowly
nerving
himself
,
he
finished
his
descent
and
walked
boldly
toward
the
kitchen
.
But
he
did
not
complete
the
walk
,
because
what
he
sought
was
no
longer
there
.
It
had
come
to
meet
him
,
and
it
was
still
alive
after
a
fashion
.
Whether
it
had
crawled
or
whether
it
had
been
dragged
by
any
external
force
,
Ammi
could
not
say
;
but
the
death
had
been
at
it
.
Everything
had
happened
in
the
last
half-hour
,
but
collapse
,
greying
,
and
disintegration
were
already
far
advanced
.
There
was
a
horrible
brittleness
,
and
dry
fragments
were
scaling
off
.
Ammi
could
not
touch
it
,
but
looked
horrifiedly
into
the
distorted
parody
that
had
been
a
face
.
"
What
was
it
,
Nahum
--
what
was
it
?
"
he
whispered
,
and
the
cleft
,
bulging
lips
were
just
able
to
crackle
out
a
final
answer
.

"
But
that
was
all
.
That
which
spoke
could
speak
no
more
because
it
had
completely
caved
in
.
Ammi
laid
a
red
checked
tablecloth
over
what
was
left
and
reeled
out
the
back
door
into
the
fields
.
He
climbed
the
slope
to
the
ten-acre
pasture
and
stumbled
home
by
the
north
road
and
the
woods
.
He
could
not
pass
that
well
from
which
his
horse
had
run
away
.
He
had
looked
at
it
through
the
window
,
and
had
seen
that
no
stone
was
missing
from
the
rim
.
Then
the
lurching
buggy
had
not
dislodged
anything
after
all
--
the
splash
had
been
something
else
--
something
which
went
into
the
well
after
it
had
done
with
poor
Nahum
...
When
Ammi
reached
his
house
the
horse
and
buggy
had
arrived
before
him
and
thrown
his
wife
into
fits
of
anxiety
.
Reassuring
her
without
explanations
,
he
set
out
at
once
for
Arkham
and
notified
the
authorities
that
the
Gardner
family
was
no
more
.
He
indulged
in
no
details
,
but
merely
told
of
the
deaths
of
Nahum
and
Nabby
,
that
of
Thaddeus
being
already
known
,
and
mentioned
that
the
cause
seemed
to
be
the
same
strange
ailment
which
had
killed
the
livestock
.
He
also
stated
that
Merwin
and
Zenas
had
disappeared
.
There
was
considerable
questioning
at
the
police
station
,
and
in
the
end
Ammi
was
compelled
to
take
three
officers
to
the
Gardner
farm
,
together
with
the
coroner
,
the
medical
examiner
,
and
the
veterinary
who
had
treated
the
diseased
animals
.
