1255-138279-0000 IT WAS A NIGHT WHEN SORROW MAY COME TO THE BRIGHTEST WITHOUT CAUSING ANY GREAT SENSE OF INCONGRUITY WHEN WITH IMPRESSIBLE PERSONS LOVE BECOMES SOLICITOUSNESS HOPE SINKS TO MISGIVING AND FAITH TO HOPE WHEN THE EXERCISE OF MEMORY DOES NOT STIR FEELINGS OF REGRET AT OPPORTUNITIES FOR AMBITION THAT HAVE BEEN PASSED BY AND ANTICIPATION DOES NOT PROMPT TO ENTERPRISE |
|
1255-138279-0001 STILL TO A CLOSE OBSERVER THEY ARE JUST AS PERCEPTIBLE THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT THEIR MEDIA OF MANIFESTATION ARE LESS TRITE AND FAMILIAR THAN SUCH WELL KNOWN ONES AS THE BURSTING OF THE BUDS OR THE FALL OF THE LEAF |
|
1255-138279-0002 IF ANYTHING COULD BE DARKER THAN THE SKY IT WAS THE WALL AND IF ANY THING COULD BE GLOOMIER THAN THE WALL IT WAS THE RIVER BENEATH |
|
1255-138279-0003 AN INDESCRIBABLE SUCCESSION OF DULL BLOWS PERPLEXING IN THEIR REGULARITY SENT THEIR SOUND WITH DIFFICULTY THROUGH THE FLUFFY ATMOSPHERE |
|
1255-138279-0004 NOT LONG AFTER A FORM MOVED BY THE BRINK OF THE RIVER |
|
1255-138279-0005 THIS WAS ALL THAT WAS POSITIVELY DISCOVERABLE THOUGH IT SEEMED HUMAN |
|
1255-138279-0006 THE SHAPE WENT SLOWLY ALONG BUT WITHOUT MUCH EXERTION FOR THE SNOW THOUGH SUDDEN WAS NOT AS YET MORE THAN TWO INCHES DEEP |
|
1255-138279-0007 AT THIS TIME SOME WORDS WERE SPOKEN ALOUD ONE |
|
1255-138279-0008 TWO THREE |
|
1255-138279-0009 FOUR FIVE |
|
1255-138279-0010 BETWEEN EACH UTTERANCE THE LITTLE SHAPE ADVANCED ABOUT HALF A DOZEN YARDS |
|
1255-138279-0011 HERE THE SPOT STOPPED AND DWINDLED SMALLER |
|
1255-138279-0012 THEN A MORSEL OF SNOW FLEW ACROSS THE RIVER TOWARDS THE FIFTH WINDOW |
|
1255-138279-0013 THE RIVER WOULD HAVE BEEN SEEN BY DAY TO BE OF THAT DEEP SMOOTH SORT WHICH RACES MIDDLE AND SIDES WITH THE SAME GLIDING PRECISION ANY IRREGULARITIES OF SPEED BEING IMMEDIATELY CORRECTED BY A SMALL WHIRLPOOL |
|
1255-138279-0014 THE WINDOW WAS STRUCK AGAIN IN THE SAME MANNER |
|
1255-138279-0015 THEN A NOISE WAS HEARD APPARENTLY PRODUCED BY THE OPENING OF THE WINDOW |
|
1255-138279-0016 SAID THE BLURRED SPOT IN THE SNOW TREMULOUSLY |
|
1255-138279-0017 I ASKED WHICH WAS YOUR WINDOW FORGIVE ME |
|
1255-138279-0018 WELL I SAID THAT YOU MIGHT |
|
1255-138279-0019 O MUST I IT IS WHEN SHALL WE BE MARRIED FRANK |
|
1255-138279-0020 I HAVE MONEY |
|
1255-138279-0021 AND WE LIVE IN TWO PARISHES DO WE WHAT THEN |
|
1255-138279-0022 IF I SAID SO OF COURSE I WILL |
|
1255-138279-0023 THE FACT IS I FORGOT TO ASK |
|
1255-138279-0024 GOOD NIGHT FRANK GOOD NIGHT |
|
