First sentence: I had never intended to speak or write again of the Charriere house, once I had fled Providence on that shocking night of discovery-there are memories which every man would seek to suppress, to disbelieve, to wipe out of existence-but I am forced to set down now the narrative of my brief acquaintance with the house on Benefit Street, and my precipitate flight there-from, lest some innocent person be subjected to indignity by the police in an effort to explain the horrible discovery the police have made at last-that same ghastly horror it was my lot to look upon before any other human eye-and what I saw was surely far more terrible than what remained to be seen after all these years, the house having reverted to the city, as I had known it would.
