we walked, and she said no more until
we were nearing the house. when
she resumed in plaintive tone,
broken occasionally by half-suppress'

"Oh, | hardly know" she went on,
but she seemed to be calling upon
heaven to forgive her for some dread

she was so wrapped up in her anguish
that even my knocks at the door made
no impression upon her. Then she
would grow more calm and only sob
and moan for a time, but soon those
awful words would come again and ii
seemed as if she would go mad. She
has always been subject to occasional
attacks of melancholy and when
would try to learn the cause of her
trouble she would put it off as a mere
fit of the blues.

listened to the weird, unearthly. sound
