To get rid of the chill feeling I got into the bed on which _she_ had lain, and as the warmth restored me tried to think coherently.

For a short while I was going over the facts of the night--or what seemed as facts to my remembrance.

But as I continued to think, the possibilities of any result seemed to get less, and I found myself vainly trying to reconcile with the logic of life the grim episode of the night.

The effort proved to be too much for such concentration as was left to me; moreover, interrupted sleep was clamant, and would not be denied.

What I dreamt of--if I dreamt at all--I know not.
