J. Sheridan Le Fanu Quotes
I Saw Something Moving Round The Foot Of The Bed, Which At First I Could Not Accurately Distinguish. But I Soon Saw That It Was A Sooty-black Animal That Resembled A Monstrous Cat. It Appeared To Me About Four Or Five Feet Long For It Measured Fully The Length Of The Hearthrug As It Passed Over It; And It Continued To-ing And Fro-ing With The Lithe, Sinister Restlessness Of A Beast In A Cage. I Could Not Cry Out, Although As You May Suppose, I Was Terrified. Its Pace Was Growing Faster, And The Room Rapidly Darker And Darker, And At Length So Dark That I Could No Longer See Anything Of It But Its Eyes. I Felt It Spring Lightly On The Bed. The Two Broad Eyes Approached My Face, And Suddenly I Felt A Stinging Pain As If Two Large Needles Darted, An Inch Or Two Apart, Deep Into My Breast. I Waked With A Scream.
