I mention this, because in my duel with young Anderson, it was my superior energy of reasoning from small issues to massive, which enabled me to observe his coffin to the grave, as a substitute of vice versa. Anderson was ignorant of this, and I used to be not surprised on our second lonely night within the bungalow to detect morphia in my whisky and soda. I was speaking one night to Anderson in his room; we had every just lighted a cigar, when the web page-boy came to inform me that Nurse James, the blackmailer I mentioned, wish to see me. When two girls, who know each other, meet after some separation, they spend a measurable time speaking to each other. My spouse had been useless two years, and the chance of catching and marrying the successful, good-trying (I'm not boasting, as you know) doctor, was too nice a temptation. Once i considered the time from my twentieth to my twenty-sixth yr, it seemed to me that, during those years, an odd and depressive being had been dwelling inside me. |
