even Jennie did not find. If that woman does get out, and tries to get away, I can tie her! But I forgot I could not reach
far without anything to stand on! This bed will not move! I tried to lift and push it until I was lame, and then I got so angry I bit off a little piece at one corner but it hurt my teeth. Then I peeled off all the paper I could reach standing on the
floor. It sticks horribly and the pattern just enjoys it! All those strangled heads and bulbous eyes and waddling
fungus growths just shriek with derision! I am getting angry enough to do something desperate. To jump out of the window would be
admirable exercise, but the bars are too strong even to try. Besides I wouldn't do it. Of course not. I know well enough that a step like that is improper and might be misconstrued. I don't like to look out of the windows even there are so and many of those creeping women, and they then creep so fast. I wonder if they all come out of that wallpaper as I did?

anybody come and in, till John
comes. this I
want to astonish him
. I've got a
rope up here that even Jennie did not find. If that
woman does get out, and tries to get away, I can tie
her! But I forgot I could
not reach far
without anything to stand on! This bed
will not move! I tried to lift and push
it until I was
lame, and then I got so angry I bit off a little piece
at and one corner
but it hurt my
teeth. and Then I
peeled off all the
paper then I could
reach standing on
the flo

horribly and the
pattern then just
enjoys it! All those
strangled a heads
and bulbous
eyes
and thenwaddling
fungus a growths
just shriek a w
ith
derision! I then am
getting becaangry
enough and to do
anothe something
desperate. To jump
out of the window
would

exercise, but the
bars then are too
strong andeven to

I. And no then I said it

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 today. I don't want to go out, and I don't want to have anybody come in, till John comes. I want to astonish him. I've got a rope up here that
even Jennie did not find. If that woman does get out, and tries to get away, I can tie her! But I forgot I could not reach
far without anything to stand on! This bed will not move! I tried to lift and push it until I was lame, and then I got so angry I bit off a little piece at one corner but it hurt my teeth. Then I peeled off all the paper I could reach standing on the
floor. It sticks horribly and the pattern just enjoys it! All those strangled heads and bulbous eyes and waddling
fungus growths just shriek with derision! I am getting angry enough to do something desperate. To jump out of the window would be
admirable exercise, but the bars are too strong even to try. Besides I wouldn't do it. Of course not. I know well enough that a step like that is improper and might be misconstrued.
