Then she said that the paper stained everything it touched, that she had found yellow smooches on all my clothes and John's, and she wished we would be more careful! Did not that sound innocent? But I know she was studying that pattern, and I am determined that nobody shall find it out but myself! THEN SHE SAID THAT THE PAPER STAINED EVERYTHING IT TOUCHED THAT SHE HAD FOUND YELLOW SMOOCHES ON ALL MY CLOTHES AND JOHN'S AND SHE WISHED WE WOULD BE MORE CAREFUL DID THAT NOT SOUND INNOCENT BUT I KNOW SHE WAS STUDYING THAT PATTERN AND I AM DETERMINED THAT NOBODY SHALL FIND IT OUT BUT MYSELF
w. John says it is good for me, and to sleep all I can. Indeed, he started the habit by making me lie down for an hour after each meal. It is a very bad habit, I am convinced, for, you see, I don’t sleep. And that cultivates deceit, for I don’t tell them I’m awake,—oh, no! The fact is, I am getting a little afraid of John. He seems very queer sometimes, and even Jennie has an inexplicable look. It strikes me occasionally, just as a scientific hypothesis, that perhaps it is the paper! I have watched John when he did not know I was looking, and come into the room suddenly on the most innocent excuses, and I’ve caught him several times looking at the paper! And Jennie too. I caught Jennie with her hand on it once. She didn’t know I was in the room, and when I asked her in a quiet, a very quiet voice, with the most restrained manner possible, what she was doing with the paper she turned around as if she had been caught stealing, and looked quite angry—asked me why I should frighten her so! THE HOUR I LIE DOWN EVER SO MUCH NOW JOHN SAYS IT IS GOOD FOR ME AND TO SLEEP ALL I CAN INDEED HE STARTED THE HABIT BY MAKING ME LIE DOWN FOR AN HOUR AFTER EACH MEAL IT IS A VERY BAD HABIT I AM CONVINCED FOR YOU SEE I DON'T SLEEP AND THAT CULTIVATES DECEIT FOR I DON'T TELL HIM I AM AWAKE OH NO THE FACT IS I AM GETTING A LITTLE AFRAID OF JOHN HE SEEMS VERY QUEER SOMETIMES AND EVEN JENNY HAS AN INEXPLICABLE LOOK IT STRIKES ME OCCASIONALLY JUST AS A SCIENTIFIC HYPOTHESIS THAT PERHAPS IT IS THE PAPER I HAVE WATCHED JOHN WHEN HE DID NOT KNOW I WAS LOOKING AND COME INTO THE ROOM SUDDENLY ON THE MOST INNOCENT EXCUSES AND I'VE CAUGHT HIM SEVERAL TIMES LOOKING AT THE PAPER AND JENNY TOO I CAUGHT JENNY WITH HER HAND ON IT ONCE SHE DIDN'T KNOW I WAS IN THE ROOM AND WHEN I ASKED HER IN A QUIET A VERY QUIET VOICE WITH THE MOST RESTRAINED MANNER POSSIBLE WHAT SHE WAS DOING WITH THE PAPER SHE TURNED AROUND AS IF SHE HAD BEEN CAUGHT STEALING AND LOOKED QUITE ANGRY ASKED ME WHY I SHOULD FRIGHTEN HER SO
