I do not know when he died; I suppose in an hour, or perhaps two, but when I passed down Ashley Street and heard the closing door, that man no longer belonged to this world; it was a devil's face I looked upon." I DO NOT KNOW WHEN HE DIED I SUPPOSE IN AN HOUR OR PERHAPS TWO BUT WHEN I PASSED DOWN ASHLEY STREET AND HEARD THE CLOSING DOOR THAT MAN NO LONGER BELONGED TO THIS WORLD IT WAS THE DEVIL'S FACE I LOOKED UPON
 saw a man standing on the step. He had just shut the door and his face was towards me, and I recognized Crashaw directly. I never knew him to speak to, but I had often seen him, and I am positive that I was not mistaken in my man. I looked into his face for a moment, and then—I will confess the truth—I set off at a good run, and kept it up till I was within my own door.” “Why?” “Why? Because it made my blood run cold to see that man’s face. I could never have supposed that such an infernal medley of passions could have glared out of any human eyes; I almost fainted as I looked. I knew I had looked into the eyes of a lost soul, Austin, the man’s outward form remained, but all hell was within it. Furious lust, and hate that was like fire, and the loss of all hope and horror that seemed to shriek aloud to the night, though his teeth were shut; and the utter blackness of despair. I am sure that he did not see me; he saw nothing that you or I can see, but what he saw I hope we never shall. O THE HOUSE IN QUESTION AND I SAW A MAN STANDING ON THE STEP HE HAD JUST SHUT THE DOOR AND HIS FACE WAS TOWARDS ME AND I RECOGNIZED CREESHAW DIRECTLY I NEVER KNEW HIM TO SPEAK TO BUT I HAD OFTEN SEEN HIM AND I AM POSITIVE THAT I WAS NOT MISTAKEN IN MY MAN I LOOKED INTO HIS FACE FOR A MOMENT AND THEN I WILL CONFESS THE TRUTH I SET OFF AT A GOOD RUN AND KEPT IT UP TILL I WAS WITHIN MY OWN DOOR WHY WHY BECAUSE IT MADE MY BLOOD RUN COLD TO SEE THAT MAN'S FACE I COULD NEVER HAVE SUPPOSED THAT SUCH AN INFERNAL MEDLEY OF PASSIONS COULD HAVE GLARED OUT OF ANY HUMAN EYES I ALMOST FAINTED AS I LOOKED I KNEW I HAD LOOKED INTO THE EYES OF A LOST SOUL AUSTIN THE MAN'S OUTWARD FORM REMAINED BUT ALL HELL WAS WITHIN IT FURIOUS LUST AND HATE THAT WAS LIKE FIRE AND THE LOSS OF ALL HOPE AND HORROR THAT SEEMED TO SHRIEK ALOUD TO THE NIGHT THOUGH HIS TEETH WERE SHUT AND THE UTTER BLACKNESS OF DESPAIR I AM SURE THAT HE DID NOT SEE ME HE SAW NOTHING THAT YOU OR I CAN SEE BUT WHAT HE SAW I HOPE WE NEVER SHALL
