He
stretched
himself
at
full
length
on
the
floor
,
and
passed
his
right
arm
into
the
cavity
.
I
can
t
say
exactly
what
I
have
got
hold
of
,
he
said
.
But
I
have
got
it
.
Half
raising
himself
,
he
drew
his
hand
out
.
The
next
instant
,
he
started
to
his
feet
with
a
shriek
of
terror
.
A
human
head
dropped
from
his
nerveless
grasp
on
the
floor
,
and
rolled
to
Henry
s
feet
.
It
was
the
hideous
head
that
Agnes
had
seen
hovering
above
her
,
in
the
vision
of
the
night
!

The
two
men
looked
at
each
other
,
both
struck
speechless
by
the
same
emotion
of
horror
.
The
manager
was
the
first
to
control
himself
.
See
to
the
door
,
for
God
s
sake
!
he
said
.
Some
of
the
people
outside
may
have
heard
me
.
Henry
moved
mechanically
to
the
door
.
Even
when
he
had
his
hand
on
the
key
,
ready
to
turn
it
in
the
lock
in
case
of
necessity
,
he
still
looked
back
at
the
appalling
object
on
the
floor
.
There
was
no
possibility
of
identifying
those
decayed
and
distorted
features
with
any
living
creature
whom
he
had
seen
and
,
yet
,
he
was
conscious
of
feeling
a
vague
and
awful
doubt
which
shook
him
to
the
soul
.
The
questions
which
had
tortured
the
mind
of
Agnes
,
were
now
his
questions
too
.
He
asked
himself
,
In
whose
likeness
might
I
have
recognised
it
before
the
decay
set
in
?
The
likeness
of
Ferrari
?
or
the
likeness
of
?
He
paused
trembling
,
as
Agnes
had
paused
trembling
before
him
.
Agnes
!
The
name
,
of
all
women
s
names
the
dearest
to
him
,
was
a
terror
to
him
now
!
What
was
he
to
say
to
her
?
What
might
be
the
consequence
if
he
trusted
her
with
the
terrible
truth
?
No
footsteps
approached
the
door
;
no
voices
were
audible
outside
.

The
travellers
were
still
occupied
in
the
rooms
at
the
eastern
end
of
the
corridor
.
In
the
brief
interval
that
had
passed
,
the
manager
had
sufficiently
recovered
himself
to
be
able
to
think
once
more
of
the
first
and
foremost
interests
of
his
life
the
interests
of
the
hotel
.
He
approached
Henry
anxiously
.
If
this
frightful
discovery
becomes
known
,
he
said
,
the
closing
of
the
hotel
and
the
ruin
of
the
Company
will
be
the
inevitable
results
.
I
feel
sure
that
I
can
trust
your
discretion
,
sir
,
so
far
?
