which showed how utterly useless he
deemed my aid.
He had closed his eyes again, and my
father motioned me to chair by the
reading table, which had been cleared
of its books and magazines, and now
held only pad Of blank paper, pencils,
many sheets of paper on which were let

mine to this object, and he spoke quickly,

! was wrought up TO ~ high nervous
tension bv the request he had made that
action OF some sort WAS necessary TO
