Time	Event
2:14a	I could almost hear the beating of my own heart,... I could almost hear the beating of my own heart, and the blood surging through my temples sounded like blows from a hammerThe silence finally became agonizingI looked at my companions, one after another, and saw from their flushed faces and damp brows that they were enduring equal tortureThere was a nervous suspense over us all, as though overhead some dread bell would peal out powerfully when we should least expect it At last there came a time when it was evident that the patient was sinking fastHe might die at any momentI looked up at the Professor and caught his eyes fixed on mineHis face was sternly set as he spoke, "There is no time to loseHis words may be worth many livesI have been thinking so, as I stood hereIt may be there is a soul at stake! We shall operate just above the ear Without another word he made the operationFor a few moments the breathing continued to be stertorousThen there came a breath so prolonged that it seemed as though it would tear open his chestSuddenly his eyes opened, and became fixed in a wild, helpless stareThis was continued for a few moments, then it was softened into a glad surprise, and from his lips came a sigh of reliefHe moved convulsively, and as he did so, said, "I'll be quiet, DoctorTell them to take off the strait waistcoatI have had a terrible dream, and it has left me so weak that I cannot moveWhat's wrong with my face?

He flew and returned with a glass, the decanter of brandy and a carafe of waterWe moistened the parched lips, and the patient quickly revived It seemed, however, that his poor injured brain had been working in the interval, for when he was quite conscious, he looked at me piercingly with an agonized confusion which I shall never forget, and said, "I must not deceive myselfIt was no dream, but all a grim reality Then his eyes roved round the roomAs they caught sight of the two figures sitting patiently on the edge of the bed he went on, "If I were not sure already, I would know from them For an instant his eyes closed, not with pain or sleep but voluntarily, as though he were bringing all his faculties to bearWhen he opened them he said, hurriedly, and with more energy than he had yet displayed, "Quick, Doctor, quick, I am dying! I feel that I have but a few minutes, and then I must go back to death, or worse! Wet my lips with brandy againI have something that I must say before I dieOr before my poor crushed brain dies anyhowThank you! It was that night after you left me, when I implored you to let me go awayI couldn't speak then, for I felt my tongue was tiedBut I was as sane then, except in that way, as I am nowI was in an agony of despair for a long time after you left me, it seemed shop hours (Comment on this)
