It was for me a constant, an incarnate horror, and after a few years I felt I could bear it no more, and I sent Helen Vaughan away. IT WAS FOR ME A CONSTANT AN INCARNATE HORROR AND AFTER A FEW YEARS I FELT I COULD BEAR IT NO MORE AND I SENT HELEN VAUGHAN AWAY
rdity. What I said Mary would see she saw, but I forgot that no human eyes can look on such a sight with impunity. And I forgot, as I have just said, that when the house of life is thus thrown open, there may enter in that for which we have no name, and human flesh may become the veil of a horror one dare not express. I played with energies which I did not understand, you have seen the ending of it. Helen Vaughan did well to bind the cord about her neck and die, though the death was horrible. The blackened face, the hideous form upon the bed, changing and melting before your eyes from woman to man, from man to beast, and from beast to worse than beast, all the strange horror that you witness, surprises me but little. What you say the doctor whom you sent for saw and shuddered at I noticed long ago; I knew what I had done the moment the child was born, and when it was scarcely five years old I surprised it, not once or twice but several times with a playmate, you may guess of what kind. THEORY WAS NOT ALL ABSURDITY WHAT I SAID MARY WOULD SEE SHE SAW BUT I FORGOT THAT NO HUMAN EYES CAN LOOK ON SUCH A SIGHT WITH IMPUNITY AND I FORGOT AS I HAVE JUST SAID THAT WHEN THE HOUSE OF LIFE IS THUS THROWN OPEN THERE MAY ENTER IN THAT FOR WHICH WE HAVE NO NAME AND HUMAN FLESH MAY BECOME THE VEIL OF A HORROR ONE DARE NOT EXPRESS I PLAYED WITH ENERGIES WHICH I DID NOT UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE SEEN THE ENDING OF IT HELEN VAUGHAN DID WELL TO BIND THE CORD AROUND HER NECK AND DIE THOUGH THE DEATH WAS HORRIBLE THE BLACKENED FACE THE HIDEOUS FORM UPON THE BED CHANGING AND MELTING BEFORE YOUR EYES FROM WOMAN TO MAN FROM MAN TO BEAST AND FROM BEAST TO WORSE THAN BEAST ALL THE STRANGE HORROR THAT YOU WITNESS SURPRISES ME BUT LITTLE WHAT YOU SAY THE DOCTOR WHOM YOU SENT FOR SAW AND SHUDDERED AT I NOTICED LONG AGO I KNEW WHAT I HAD DONE THE MOMENT THE CHILD WAS BORN AND WHEN IT WAS SCARCELY FIVE YEARS OLD I SURPRISED IT NOT ONCE OR TWICE BUT SEVERAL TIMES WITH A PLAYMATE YOU MAY GUESS OF WHAT KIND
