The disease had sharpened -my senses, not destroyed, not dulled them. Above -all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things -in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things -in hell. How then am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily, how -calmly, I can tell you the -whole story. - -\begin{floatingfigure}{60mm} -\begin{center} -The first figure to\\ use the environment\\ \texttt{floatingfigure} -\end{center} -\caption{The \texttt{floatingfigure} environment with \texttt{60mm} -for \textit{width} and no \textit{option}.} -\end{floatingfigure} -It is impossible to say how first the idea entered -my brain, but, once conceived, it haunted me day -and\linebreak night. Object there was none. Passion there -was none. I loved the old man. He had never -wronged me. He had never given me insult. For -his gold I had no desire. I think it was his eye! -Yes, it was this! One of his eyes resembled that -of a vulture -- a pale blue eye with a film over it. -Whenever it fell upon me my blood ran cold, and -so by degrees, very gradually, I made up my mind -to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself -of the eye for ever. - -\begin{floatingfigure}[r]{40mm} -\begin{center} -Another figure to\\ use the environment\\ \texttt{floatingfigure} -\end{center} -\caption{The \texttt{floatingfigure} environment with \texttt{40mm} -for \textit{width} and the \texttt{r} \textit{option}.} -\end{floatingfigure} -Now this is the point. You fancy me mad. Madmen -know nothing. But you should have seen me. -You should have seen how wisely I proceeded -- -with what caution -- with what foresight, with what -dissimulation, I went to work! I was never kinder -to the old man than during the whole week before -I killed him. And every night about midnight I -turned the latch of his door and opened it oh, so -gently! And then, when I had made an opening -sufficient for my head, I put in a dark lantern all -closed, closed so that no light shone out, and then -I thrust in my head. Oh, you would have laughed -to see how cunningly I thrust it in! I moved it -slowly, very, very slowly, so that I might not -disturb the old man's sleep. It took me an hour to -place my whole head within the opening so far that -I could see him as he lay upon his bed. Ha! would -a madman have been so wise as this? And then -when my head was well in the room I undid the -lantern cautiously -- oh, so cautiously -- cautiously -(for the hinges creaked), I undid it just so much -that a single thin ray fell upon the vulture eye. -And this I did for seven long nights, every night -just at midnight, but I found the eye always closed, -and so it was impossible to do the work, for it was -not the old man who vexed me but his Evil Eye. -And every morning, when the day broke, I went -boldly into the chamber and spoke courageously to -him, calling him by name in a hearty tone, and -inquiring how he had passed the night. So you see -he would have been a very profound old man, indeed, -to suspect that every night, just at twelve, I -looked in upon him while he slept. - -\begin{floatingtable}{ -\begin{tabular}{cccc} -$x$ & $x^2$ & $x^3$ & $x^4$ \\ \hline -1 & 1 & 1 & 1 \\ -2 & 4 & 8 & 16 \\ -3 & 9 & 27 & 81 \\ -\end{tabular}} -\caption{The \texttt{floatingtable} environment with no \textit{option}.} -\end{floatingtable} -Upon the eighth night I was more than usually -cautious in opening the door. A watch's minute -hand moves more quickly than did mine. Never -before that night had I felt the extent of my own -powers, of my sagacity. I could scarcely contain -my feelings of triumph. To think that there I was -opening the door little by little, and he not even to -dream of my secret deeds or thoughts. I fairly -chuckled at the idea, and perhaps he heard me, for -he moved on the bed suddenly as if startled. Now -you may think that I drew back -- but no. His room -was as black as pitch with the thick darkness (for -the shutters were close fastened through fear of -robbers), and so I knew that he could not see the -opening of the door, and I kept pushing it on -steadily, steadily. - -\begin{floatingtable}[l]{ -\begin{tabular}{ccc} -$\alpha$ & $\sin\alpha$ & $\cos\alpha$ \\ \hline -0 & 0 & 1 \\ -$\pi$ & 0 & $-1$ \\ -$2\pi$ & 0 & 1 \\ -\end{tabular}} -\caption{The \texttt{floatingtable} environment with the \texttt{l} -\textit{option}.} -\end{floatingtable} -I had my head in, and was about to open the -lantern, when my thumb slipped upon the tin fasten\-ing, -and the old man sprang up in the bed, crying -out, ''Who's there?'' - -I kept quite still and said nothing. For a whole -hour I did not move a muscle, and in the meantime -I did not hear him lie down. He was still sitting -up in the bed, listening; just as I have done night -after night hearkening to the death watches in the -wall. - -\begin{floatingfigure}[l]{50mm} -\begin{center} -\Large A Figure! -\end{center} -\caption{The \texttt{floatingfigure} environment -with \textit{width} set to \texttt{50mm} and the -\texttt{l} \textit{option}.} -\end{floatingfigure} -Presently, I heard a slight groan, and I knew it -was the groan of mortal terror. It was not a groan of -pain or of grief -- oh, no! It was the low stifled sound -that arises from the bottom of the soul when -overcharged with awe. I knew the sound well. Many -a night, just at midnight, when all the world slept, -it has welled up from my own bosom, deepening, -with its dreadful echo, the terrors that distracted -me. I say I knew it well. I knew what the old -man felt, and pitied him although I chuckled at -heart. I knew that he had been lying awake ever -since the first slight noise when he had turned in -the bed. His fears had been ever since growing -upon him. He had been trying to fancy them -causeless, but could not. He had been saying to -himself, ''It is nothing but the wind in the chimney, -it is only a mouse crossing the floor,'' or, ''It is merely -a cricket which has made a single chirp.'' Yes he -has been trying to comfort himself with these -suppositions; but he had found all in vain. ALL IN VAIN, -because Death in approaching him had stalked with -his black shadow before him and enveloped the -victim. And it was the mournful influence of the -unperceived shadow that caused him to feel, although -he neither saw nor heard, to feel the presence -of my head within the room. - -When I had waited a long time very patiently -without hearing him lie down, I resolved to open -a little -- a very, very little crevice in the lantern. -So I opened it -- you cannot imagine how stealthily, -stealthily -- until at length a single dim ray like the -thread of the spider shot out from the crevice and -fell upon the vulture eye. - -It was open, wide, wide open, and I grew furious -as I gazed upon it. I saw it with perfect distinctness --- all a dull blue with a hideous veil over it that -chilled the very marrow in my bones, but I could -see nothing else of the old man's face or person, for -I had directed the ray as if by instinct precisely upon -the damned spot. - -And now have I not told you that what you mis- -take for madness is but over-acuteness of the senses? -now, I say, there came to my ears a low, dull, quick -sound, such as a watch makes when enveloped in -cotton. I knew that sound well too. It was the -beating of the old man's heart. It increased my fury -as the beating of a drum stimulates the soldier into -courage. - -\begin{floatingfigure}[p]{90mm} -\begin{center} -A rather wide figure which still uses the \\ -\texttt{floatingfigure} environment. -\end{center} -\caption{A \texttt{floatingfigure} environment -which uses \texttt{90mm} for \textit{width} and -the \texttt{p} \textit{option}.} -\end{floatingfigure} -But even yet I refrained and kept still. I scarcely\linebreak -brea\-thed. I held\linebreak the lantern motionless. I tried -how\linebreak stead\-ily I could\linebreak -maintain the ray upon the eye. -Meantime the hellish tattoo of the heart increased. -It grew quicker and quicker, and louder and louder, -every instant. The old man's terror must have -been extreme! It grew louder, I say, louder every -moment! -- do you mark me well? I have told you -that I am nervous: so I am. And now at the dead -hour of the night, amid the dreadful silence of that -old house, so strange a noise as this excited me to -uncontrollable terror. Yet, for some minutes longer -I refrained and stood still. But the beating grew -louder, louder! I thought the heart must burst. -And now a new anxiety seized me -- the sound would -be heard by a neighbour! The old man's hour had -come! With a loud yell, I threw open the lantern -and leaped into the room. He shrieked once -- once -only. In an instant I dragged him to the floor, and -pulled the heavy bed over him. I then smiled -gaily, to find the deed so far done. But for many -minutes the heart beat on with a muffled sound. -This, however, did not vex me; it would not be -heard through the wall. At length it ceased. The -old man was dead. I removed the bed and examined -the corpse. Yes, he was stone, stone dead. I placed -my hand upon the heart and held it there many -minutes. There was no pulsation. He was stone -dead. His eye would trouble me no more. - -\begin{floatingtable}[r]{ -\begin{tabular}{l} -Two lines in one table with one single \\ -column is enough! -\end{tabular}} -\caption{This \texttt{floatingtable} uses the \texttt{r} -\textit{option}.} -\end{floatingtable} -If still you think me mad, you will think so no -longer when I describe the wise precautions I took -for the concealment of the body. The night waned, -and I worked hastily, but in silence. - -I took up three planks from the flooring of the -chamber, and deposited all between the scantlings. -I then replaced the boards so cleverly so cunningly, -that no human eye -- not even his -- could have -detected anything wrong. There was nothing to wash -out -- no stain of any kind -- no blood-spot whatever. -I had been too wary for that. - -When I had made an end of these labours, it was -four o'clock -- still dark as midnight. As the bell -sounded the hour, there came a knocking at the -street door. I went down to open it with a light -heart, -- for what had I now to fear? There entered -three men, who introduced themselves, with perfect -suavity, as officers of the police. A shriek had been -heard by a neighbour during the night; suspicion -of foul play had been aroused; information had been -lodged at the police office, and they (the officers) -had been deputed to search the premises. - -\begin{floatingtable}[p]{ -\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|} \hline -English Word & Swedish Word & Dutch Word \\ \hline -read & l\"asa & lesen \\ -speak & tala & spreken\\ -write & skriva & schrijven \\ \hline -\end{tabular}} -\caption{A \texttt{floatingtable} with the \texttt{p} -\textit{option}.} -\end{floatingtable} -I smiled, -- for what had I to fear? I bade the -gentlemen welcome. The shriek, I said, was my -own in a dream. The old man, I mentioned,\linebreak was -absent in the country. I took my visitors all over -the house. I bade them search -- search well. I led -them, at length, to his chamber. I showed them his -treasures, secure, undisturbed. In the enthusiasm -of my confidence, I brought chairs into the room, -and desired them here to rest from their fatigues, -while I myself, in the wild audacity of my perfect -triumph, placed my own seat upon the very spot -beneath which reposed the corpse of the victim. - -The officers were satisfied. My MANNER had -convinced them. I was singularly at ease. They sat -and while I answered cheerily, they chatted of -familiar things. But, ere long, I felt myself getting -pale and wished them gone. My head ached, and -I fancied a ringing in my ears; but still they sat, -and still chatted. The ringing became more distinct: -I talked more freely to get rid of the feeling: -but it continued and gained definitiveness -- until, -at length, I found that the noise was NOT within my -ears. - -No doubt I now grew VERY pale; but I talked -more fluently, and with a heightened voice. Yet -the sound increased -- and what could I do? It was -A LOW, DULL, QUICK SOUND -- MUCH SUCH A SOUND AS A -WATCH MAKES WHEN ENVELOPED IN COTTON. I gasped for -breath, and yet the officers heard it not. I talked -more quickly, more vehemently but the noise -steadily increased. I arose and argued about trifles, -in a high key and with violent gesticulations; but -the noise steadily increased. Why WOULD they not -be gone? I paced the floor to and fro with heavy -strides, as if excited to fury by the observations of -the men, but the noise steadily increased. O God! -what COULD I do? I foamed -- I raved -- I swore! I -swung the chair upon which I had been sitting, and -grated it upon the boards, but the noise arose over -all and continually increased. It grew louder -- -louder -- louder! And still the men chatted -pleasantly, and smiled. Was it possible they heard -not? Almighty God! -- no, no? They heard! -- -they suspected! -- they KNEW! -- they were making -a mockery of my horror! -- this I thought, and this -I think. But anything was better than this agony! -Anything was more tolerable than this derision! I -could bear those hypocritical smiles no longer! I -felt that I must scream or die! -- and now -- again --- hark! louder! louder! louder! LOUDER! -- - -''Villains!'' I shrieked, ''dissemble no more! I -admit the deed! -- tear up the planks! -- here, here! --- it is the beating of his hideous heart!'' - -\rightline{\ensuremath{\mathcal{END}}.} - -\listoffigures -\listoftables - -\end{document} -\endinput -%% -%% End of file `floatexm.tex'. |
