But here I can creep smoothly on the floor, and my shoulder just fits in that long smooch around the wall, so I cannot lose my way.
She is now the creeping woman. She has become her story.
But here I can creep smoothly on the floor, and my shoulder just fits in that long smooch around the wall, so I cannot lose my way.
She is now the creeping woman. She has become her story.
I don't like to look out of the windows evell -there are so many of those creeping women, and they creep so fast.
She thinks there are multiple women now.
That was clever, for really I wasn't alone a bit! As soon as it was moonlight and that poor thing began to crawl and shake the pattern, I got up and ran to help her. I pulled and she shook, I shook and she pulled, and before morning we had. peeled off yards of that paper. A strip about as high as my head and half around the room. And then when the sun came and that awful pattern began to laugh at me, I declared I would finish it to-dav !
She is hallucinating a person. And she is off the rails completely.
Such a peculiar odor, too!
Now she is obsessed with smells, which hints and her loss of sanity.
I have watched John when he did not know I was looking, and come into the room suddenly on the most innocent excuses, and I've caught him several times. looking at the paper! And Jennie too. I caught Jennie with her hand on it once
She is literally only talking about the paper now!
But I tried it last night. It was moonlight. The moon shines in all around just as the sun does. I hate to see it sometimes, it creeps so slowly, and always comes in by one win,dow or another.
She is describing the moon as creeping slowly. She is slipping into her "stories."
Just this nervous weakness I suppose.
She is admitting that there is something wrong with her.
I verily believe she thinks it is the writing which made me sick!
That character is has told us what is wrong with the narrator.
Then he took me in his arms and called me a blessed little goose
Who actually talks like this?
for a little distance they suddenly commit suicide
Foreshadowing?
I have a schedule prescription for each hour in the day;
I wonder what she is taking?
If a physician of high standing, and one's own husband, assures friends and relatives that there is really nothing the matter with one but temporary nervous depression -a slight hysterical tendency -what is one to do?
I agree with the narrator. I live in a family of dentists. I get a lot of teeth things. I get what she means.
John is practical in the extreme.
I believe we all want to have this trait.
felicity
What does this mean?
