"The Tell-Tale Heart
by Edgar Allen Poe (excerpt)
And every night about midnight, I turned the latch of his door and opened it-on so gently. And then, when I had made an opening sufficient
for my head, I put in a dark lantern, all closed, closed, that no light shone out, and then I thrust in my head. Oh, you would have laughed to see
how cunningy thrust it intimoved it slowy-very, very slowly, so that I might not disturb the old man's sleep. It took me an hour to place my
whole head within the opening so far that I could see him as he lay upon his bed. Ha! would a madman have been so wise as this? And then,
when my head was well in the room, I undid the lantern cautiously-oh, so cautiously-cautiously for the hinges creaked) undid it just so
much that a single thin ray fell upon the vulture eye.
