The name, you know, was written on the back.”  BONE AND SINEW OF MY BODY I FELT RACKED FROM HEAD TO FOOT MY EYES BEGAN TO GROW DIM IT WAS LIKE THE ENTRANCE OF DEATH YES YES VERY STRANGE CERTAINLY YOU SEE YOUR FRIEND CONFESSES THAT THERE IS SOME VERY BLACK STORY CONNECTED WITH THIS WOMAN DID YOU NOTICE ANY PARTICULAR EMOTION IN HIM WHEN YOU WERE TELLING YOUR TALE YES I DID HE BECAME VERY FAINT BUT HE ASSURED ME THAT IT WAS A MERE PASSING ATTACK TO WHICH HE WAS SUBJECT DID YOU BELIEVE HIM I DID AT THE TIME BUT I DON'T NOW HE HEARD WHAT I HAD TO SAY WITH A GOOD DEAL OF INDIFFERENCE TILL I SHOWED HIM THE PORTRAIT IT WAS THEN THAT HE WAS SEIZED WITH THE ATTACK OF WHICH I SPOKE HE LOOKED GHASTLY I ASSURE YOU THEN HE MUST HAVE SEEN THE WOMAN BEFORE BUT THERE MIGHT BE ANOTHER EXPLANATION IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE NAME AND NOT THE FACE WHICH WAS FAMILIAR TO HIM WHAT DO YOU THINK I COULDN'T SAY TO THE BEST OF MY BELIEF IT WAS AFTER TURNING THE PORTRAIT IN HIS HANDS THAT HE NEARLY DROPPED FROM THE CHAIR THE NAME YOU KNOW WAS WRITTEN ON THE BACK
