Read the excerpt from "the tell-tale heart.”
true! —nervous—very, very dreadfully nervous i had been and am; but why will you say that i am mad? the disease had sharpened my senses—not destroyed—not dulled them. above all was the sense of hearing acute. i heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. i heard many things in hell. how, then, am i mad? hearken! and observe how healthily—how calmly i can tell you the whole story.
read the excerpt from "the black cat.”
i not only neglected, but ill-used them. for pluto, however, i still retained sufficient regard to restrain me from maltreating him, as i made no scruple of maltreating the rabbits, the monkey, or even the dog, when by accident, or through affection, they came in my way. but my disease grew upon me—for what disease is like alcohol! —and at length even pluto, who was now becoming old, and consequently somewhat peevish—even pluto began to experience the effects of my ill temper.
