She tried to get me out of the room—it was too patent! But I said it was so quiet and empty and clean now that I believed I would lie down again and sleep all I could; and not to wake me even for dinner—I would call when I woke. So now she is gone, and the servants are gone, and the things are gone, and there is nothing left but that great bedstead nailed down, with the canvas mattress we found on it. We shall sleep downstairs to night, and take the boat home to morrow. I quite enjoy the room, now it is bare again.

d won’t be out until this evening. Jennie wanted to sleep with me—the sly thing! but I told her I should undoubtedly rest better for a night all alone. That was clever, for really I wasn’t alone a bit! As soon as it was moonlight, and that poor thing began to crawl and shake the pattern, I got up and ran to help her. I pulled and she shook, I shook and she pulled, and before morning we had peeled off yards of that paper. A strip about as high as my head and half around the room. And then when the sun came and that awful pattern began to laugh at me I declared I would finish it to-day! We go away to-morrow, and they are moving all my furniture down again to leave things as they were before. Jennie looked at the wall in amazement, but I told her merrily that I did it out of pure spite at the vicious thing. She laughed and said she wouldn’t mind doing it herself, but I must not get tired. How she betrayed herself that time! But I am here, and no person touches this paper but me—not alive! TAY IN TOWN OVERNIGHT AND WON'T BE OUT UNTIL THIS EVENING JENNY WANTED TO SLEEP WITH ME THIS SLY THING BUT I TOLD HER I SHOULD UNDOUBTEDLY REST BETTER FOR A NIGHT ALL ALONE THAT WAS CLEVER FOR REALLY I WASN'T ALONE A BIT AS SOON AS IT WAS MOONLIGHT AND THAT POOR THING BEGAN TO CRAWL AND SHAKE THE PATTERN I GOT UP AND RAN TO HELP HER I PULLED AND SHE SHOOK I SHOOK AND SHE PULLED AND BEFORE MORNING WE HAD PEELED OFF YARDS OF THAT PAPER A STRIP ABOUT AS HIGH AS MY HEAD AND HALF AROUND THE ROOM AND THEN WHEN THE SUN CAME AND THAT AWFUL PATTERN BEGAN TO LAUGH AT ME I DECLARED I WOULD FINISH IT TO DAY WE GO AWAY TO MORROW AND THEY ARE MOVING ALL MY FURNITURE DOWN AGAIN TO LEAVE THINGS AS THEY WERE BEFORE JENNY LOOKED AT THE WALL IN AMAZEMENT BUT I TOLD HER MERRILY THAT I DID IT OUT OF PURE SPITE AT THE VICIOUS THING SHE LAUGHED AND SAID SHE WOULDN'T MIND DOING IT HERSELF BUT I MUST NOT GET TIRED HOW SHE BETRAYED HERSELF THAT TIME BUT I AM HERE AND NO PERSON TOUCHES HIS PAPER BUT ME NOT ALIVE
