In one corner there was a pile of newspapers littered on the floor, and I began looking at them; they were papers of three or four years ago, some of them half torn, and some crumpled as if they had been used for packing.

t the air of the house. Of course all empty houses are stuffy, and so forth, but this was something quite different; I can’t describe it to you, but it seemed to stop the breath. I went into the front room and the back room, and the kitchens downstairs; they were all dirty and dusty enough, as you would expect, but there was something strange about them all. I couldn’t define it to you, I only know I felt queer. It was one of the rooms on the first floor, though, that was the worst. It was a largish room, and once on a time the paper must have been cheerful enough, but when I saw it, paint, paper, and everything were most doleful. But the room was full of horror; I felt my teeth grinding as I put my hand on the door, and when I went in, I thought I should have fallen fainting to the floor. However, I pulled myself together, and stood against the end wall, wondering what on earth there could be about the room to make my limbs tremble, and my heart beat as if I were at the hour of death. ICED A QUEER HEAVY FEELING ABOUT THE AIR OF THE HOUSE OF COURSE ALL EMPTY HOUSES ARE STUFFY AND SO FORTH BUT THIS WAS SOMETHING QUITE DIFFERENT I CAN'T DESCRIBE IT TO YOU BUT IT SEEMED TO STOP THE BREATH I WENT INTO THE FRONT ROOM AND THE BACK ROOM AND THE KITCHENS DOWNSTAIRS THEY WERE ALL DIRTY AND DUSTY ENOUGH AS YOU WOULD EXPECT BUT THERE WAS SOMETHING STRANGE ABOUT THEM ALL I COULDN'T DEFINE IT TO YOU I ONLY KNOW I FELT QUEER IT WAS ONE OF THE ROOMS ON THE FIRST FLOOR THOUGH THAT WAS THE WORST IT WAS A LARGISH ROOM AND ONCE ON A TIME THE PAPER MUST HAVE BEEN CHEERFUL ENOUGH BUT WHEN I SAW IT PAINT PAPER AND EVERYTHING WERE MOST DOLEFUL BUT THE ROOM WAS FULL OF HORROR I FELT MY TEETH GRINDING AS I PUT MY HAND ON THE DOOR AND WHEN I WENT IN I THOUGHT I SHOULD HAVE FALLEN FAINTING TO THE FLOOR HOWEVER I PULLED MYSELF TOGETHER AND STOOD AGAINST THE END WALL WONDERING WHAT ON EARTH THERE COULD BE ABOUT THE ROOM TO MAKE MY LIMBS TREMBLE AND MY HEART BEAT AS IF I WERE AT THE HOUR OF DEATH
