+\centerline{\Huge The Tale of
+\textsf{floatflt}}\bigskip
+
+\noindent This is a demonstration document for the use
+of the \textsf{floatflt} package. It contains several
+floating figures and tables with captions explaining how
+they were called. At the end, both a
+\verb+\listoffigures+ and a \verb+\listoftables+ command
+are used, resulting in the desired lists. For more
+details on how to use the \textsf{floatflt} package,
+please run \LaTeX{} on the file \texttt{floatflt.dtx}.

+found in the file \texttt{telltale.poe}. Only minor
+\LaTeX\ adaptions have been done, besides the inclusion
+of floating floats.

+I had been and am; but why WILL you say
+that I am mad? 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

+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.

+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.

+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.

+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.

+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.

+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.

+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.

+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!''
