I always lock the door when I creep by daylight. I can't do it at night, for I know John would suspect something at once. And John is so queer now, that I don't want to irritate him. I wish he would take another room! Besides, I don't want anybody to get that woman out at night but myself. I ALWAYS LOCK THE DOOR WHEN I CREEP BY DAYLIGHT I CAN'T DO IT AT NIGHT FOR I KNOW JOHN WOULD SUSPECT SOMETHING AT ONCE AND JOHN IS SO QUEER NOW THAT I DON'T WANT TO IRRITATE HIM I WISH HE WOULD TAKE ANOTHER ROOM BESIDES I DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO GET THAT WOMAN OUT AT NIGHT BUT MYSELF
till, and in the very shady spots she just takes hold of the bars and shakes them hard. And she is all the time trying to climb through. But nobody could climb through that pattern—it strangles so; I think that is why it has so many heads. They get through, and then the pattern strangles them off and turns them upside-down, and makes their eyes white! If those heads were covered or taken off it would not be half so bad. I think that woman gets out in the daytime! And I’ll tell you why—privately—I’ve seen her! I can see her out of every one of my windows! It is the same woman, I know, for she is always creeping, and most women do not creep by daylight. I see her on that long shaded lane, creeping up and down. I see her in those dark grape arbors, creeping all around the garden. I see her on that long road under the trees, creeping along, and when a carriage comes she hides under the blackberry vines. I don’t blame her a bit. It must be very humiliating to be caught creeping by daylight! A GREAT MANY WOMEN BEHIND AND SOMETIMES ONLY ONE AND SHE CRAWLS AROUND FAST AND HER CRAWLING SHAKES IT ALL OVER THEN IN THE VERY BRIGHT SPOTS SHE KEEPS STILL AND IN THE VERY SHADY SPOTS SHE JUST TAKES HOLD OF THE BARS AND SHAKES THEM HARD AND SHE IS ALL THE TIME TRYING TO CLIMB THROUGH BUT NOBODY COULD CLIMB THROUGH THAT PATTERN IT STRANGLES SO I THINK THAT IS WHY IT HAS SO MANY HEADS THEY GET THROUGH AND THEN THE PATTERN STRANGLES THEM OFF AND TURNS THEM UPSIDE DOWN AND MAKES THEIR EYES WHITE IF THOSE HEADS WERE COVERED OR TAKEN OFF IT WOULD NOT BE HALF SO BAD I THINK THAT WOMAN GETS OUT IN THE DAYTIME AND I'LL TELL YOU WHY PRIVATELY I'VE SEEN HER I CAN SEE HER AT EVERY ONE OF MY WINDOWS IT IS THE SAME WOMAN I KNOW FOR SHE IS ALWAYS CREEPING AND MOST WOMEN DO NOT CREEP BY DAYLIGHT I SEE HER ON THAT LONG ROAD UNDER THE TREES CREEPING ALONG AND WHEN A CARRIAGE COMES SHE HIDES UNDER THE BLACKBERRY VINES I DON'T BLAME HER A BIT IT MUST BE VERY HUMILIATING TO BE CAUGHT CREEPING BY DAYLIGHT
