Death
!
Murder
!
The
murder
of
Roberta
!
But
to
escape
her
of
course
--
this
unreasonable
,
unshakable
,
unchangeable
demand
of
hers
!
Already
he
was
quite
cold
,
quite
damp
--
with
the
mere
thought
of
it
.
And
now
--
when
--
when
--
!
But
he
must
not
think
of
that
!
The
death
of
that
unborn
child
,
too
!!
But
how
could
any
one
even
think
of
doing
any
such
thing
with
calculation
--
deliberately
?
And
yet
--
many
people
were
drowned
like
that
--
boys
and
girls
--
men
and
women
--
here
and
there
--
everywhere
the
world
over
in
the
summer
time
.
To
be
sure
,
he
would
not
want
anything
like
that
to
happen
to
Roberta
.
And
especially
at
this
time
.
He
was
not
that
kind
of
a
person
,
whatever
else
he
was
.
He
was
not
.
He
was
not
.
He
was
not
.
The
mere
thought
now
caused
a
damp
perspiration
to
form
on
his
hands
and
face
.
He
was
not
that
kind
of
a
person
.
Decent
,
sane
people
did
not
think
of
such
things
.
And
so
he
would
not
either
--
from
this
hour
on
.
In
a
tremulous
state
of
dissatisfaction
with
himself
--
that
any
such
grisly
thought
should
have
dared
to
obtrude
itself
upon
him
in
this
way
--
he
got
up
and
lit
the
lamp
--
re-read
this
disconcerting
item
in
as
cold
and
reprobative
way
as
he
could
achieve
,
feeling
that
in
so
doing
he
was
putting
anything
at
which
it
hinted
far
from
him
once
and
for
all
.
Then
,
having
done
so
,
he
dressed
and
went
out
of
the
house
for
a
walk
--
up
Wykeagy
Avenue
,
along
Central
Avenue
,
out
Oak
,
and
then
back
on
Spruce
and
to
Central
again
--
feeling
that
he
was
walking
away
from
the
insinuating
thought
or
suggestion
that
had
so
troubled
him
up
to
now
And
after
a
time
,
feeling
better
,
freer
,
more
natural
,
more
human
,
as
he
so
much
wished
to
feel
--
he
returned
to
his
room
,
once
more
to
sleep
,
with
the
feeling
that
he
had
actually
succeeded
in
eliminating
completely
a
most
insidious
and
horrible
visitation
.
He
must
never
think
of
it
again
!
He
must
never
think
of
it
again
.
He
must
never
,
never
,
never
think
of
it
--
never
.
And
then
falling
into
a
nervous
,
feverish
doze
soon
thereafter
,
he
found
himself
dreaming
of
a
savage
black
dog
that
was
trying
to
bite
him
.
Having
escaped
from
the
fangs
of
the
creature
by
waking
in
terror
,
he
once
more
fell
asleep
.
But
now
he
was
in
some
very
strange
and
gloomy
place
,
a
wood
or
a
cave
or
narrow
canyon
between
deep
hills
,
from
which
a
path
,
fairly
promising
at
first
,
seemed
to
lead
.
But
soon
the
path
,
as
he
progressed
along
it
,
became
narrower
and
narrower
and
darker
,
and
finally
disappeared
entirely
.
And
then
,
turning
to
see
if
he
could
not
get
back
as
he
had
come
,
there
directly
behind
him
were
arrayed
an
entangled
mass
of
snakes
that
at
first
looked
more
like
a
pile
of
brush
.
But
above
it
waved
the
menacing
heads
of
at
least
a
score
of
reptiles
,
forked
tongues
and
agate
eyes
.
And
in
front
now
,
as
he
turned
swiftly
,
a
horned
and
savage
animal
--
huge
,
it
was
--
its
heavy
tread
crushing
the
brush
--
blocked
the
path
in
that
direction
.
And
then
,
horrified
and
crying
out
in
hopeless
desperation
,
once
more
he
awoke
--
not
to
sleep
again
that
night
.
Yet
a
thought
such
as
that
of
the
lake
,
connected
as
it
was
with
the
predicament
by
which
he
was
being
faced
,
and
shrink
from
it
though
he
might
,
was
not
to
be
dismissed
as
easily
as
he
desired
.
Born
as
it
was
of
its
accidental
relation
to
this
personal
problem
that
was
shaking
and
troubling
and
all
but
disarranging
his
own
none-too-forceful
mind
,
this
smooth
,
seemingly
blameless
,
if
dreadful
,
blotting
out
of
two
lives
at
Pass
Lake
,
had
its
weight
.
That
girl
's
body
--
as
some
peculiar
force
in
his
own
brain
now
still
compelled
him
to
think
--
being
found
,
but
the
man
's
not
.
In
that
interesting
fact
--
and
this
quite
in
spite
of
himself
--
lurked
a
suggestion
that
insisted
upon
obtruding
itself
on
his
mind
--
to
wit
,
that
it
might
be
possible
that
the
man
's
body
was
not
in
that
lake
at
all
.
For
,
since
evil-minded
people
did
occasionally
desire
to
get
rid
of
other
people
,
might
it
not
be
possible
that
that
man
had
gone
there
with
that
girl
in
order
to
get
rid
of
her
?
A
very
smooth
and
devilish
trick
,
of
course
,
but
one
which
,
in
this
instance
at
least
,
seemed
to
have
succeeded
admirably
.
