By some method undoubtedly mental, but which, in my confusion and excitement, I failed to understand, the doctor accomplished his purpose, and the next minute I heard him say sharply under his breath, "It's out! Now watch!" BY SOME METHOD UNDOUBTEDLY MENTAL BUT WHICH IN MY CONFUSION AND EXCITEMENT I FAILED TO UNDERSTAND THE DOCTOR ACCOMPLISHED HIS PURPOSE AND THE NEXT MINUTE I HEARD HIM SAY SHARPLY UNDER HIS BREATH IT'S OUT NOW WATCH
 The realisation that Sangree lay confined in that narrow space with this species of monstrous projection of himself—that he was wrapped there in the cataleptic sleep, all unconscious that this thing was masquerading with his own life and energies—added a distressing touch of horror to the scene. In all the cases of John Silence—and they were many and often terrible—no other psychic affliction has ever, before or since, impressed me so convincingly with the pathetic impermanence of the human personality, with its fluid nature, and with the alarming possibilities of its transformations. "Come," he whispered, after we had watched for some minutes the frantic efforts to escape from the circle of thought and will that held it prisoner, "come a little farther away while I release it." We moved back a dozen yards or so. It was like a scene in some impossible play, or in some ghastly and oppressive nightmare from which I should presently awake to find the blankets all heaped up upon my chest. ALAMITY IT INVOLED THE REALIZATION THAT SANGREE LAY CONFINED IN THAT NARROW SPACE WITH THIS SPECIES OF MONSTROUS PROJECTION OF HIMSELF THAT HE WAS WRAPPED THERE IN THE CATALEPTIC SLEEP ALL UNCONSCIOUS THAT THIS THING WAS MASQUERADING WITH HIS OWN LIFE AND ENERGIES ADDED A DISTRESSING TOUCH OF HORROR TO THE SCENE IN ALL THE CASES OF JOHN SILENCE AND THEY WERE MANY AND OFTEN TERRIBLE NO OTHER PSYCHIC AFFLICTION HAS EVER BEFORE OR SINCE IMPRESSED ME SO CONVINCINGLY WITH THE PATHETIC IMPERMANENCE OF THE HUMAN PERSONALITY WITH ITS FLUID NATURE AND WITH THE ALARMING POSSIBILITIES OF ITS TRANSFORMATIONS COME HE WHISPERED AFTER WE HAD WATCHED FOR SOME MINUTES THE FRANTIC EFFORTS TO ESCAPE FROM THE CIRCLE OF THOUGHT AND WILL THAT HELD IT PRISONER COME A LITTLE FARTHER AWAY WHILE I RELEASE IT WE MOVED BACK A DOZEN YARDS OR SO IT WAS LIKE A SCENE IN SOME IMPOSSIBLE PLAY OR IN SOME GHASTLY AND OPPRESSIVE NIGHTMARE FROM WHICH I SHOULD PRESENTLY AWAKE TO FIND THE BLANKETS ALL HEAPED UP UPON MY CHEST
