Capitolo 15
paints the whole scene as a photo to me; and I didn't do
you doubt the object that he has contained in his/her hand it was a photo of the room as
it appeared after the murder. He checked my affirmations, one to the time
as I followed, from reference to the photo, murmuring half to
him sometimes: "Yes, yes, exactly so"; "That is corrected"; "That
it was so", to every article I mentioned.
At the end of these investigations, he made a break, and it seemed hard to me.
"Now, Miss Callingham", he said again, while peering at deep in my eyes, "me
wants that you assemble a lot of Your mind, not on this Portrait You
harbors so vividly in Your his/her own brain, but on the events that have gone
immediately of forehead to and later him. Break craves and thinks. You try very hard to
memoirs. And before, you say there was a great shine of light. Now,
answer me this: was it a whale alone, or had there been a lot?"
I stayed me and racked my brain. Gates, gates, as usual.
"I cannot remember", me the faltered out, craving terribly to cry. "I am able
you recall before only that one scene and nothing other in the world
it."
He looked fixedly at me, brief note down some words in his/her note-book
as he looked. Then he spoke again, even more slowly:
"Now, once more" you try, he said, with an encouraging air. "You saw
this man back as him you/he/she was going out of the window. But it doesn't can Him
memoirs having seen first his/her face? Did it have him a beard? a moustaches?
what does it look? what nose? Did he/she see the shot hit? And in such case, that that
person's kind the man was that you/he/she shot him/it?"
Again I crossed in vain pigeon-puncture her of my memory, as I had
done first alone one hundred times.
"It is not use", I defenselessly cried, while letting my hands leave to fall from my side.
"I cannot remember a thing, omits the Portrait. I don't know if
I saw the shot hit or not. I don't know what looked at the assassin
as in the face. I have told him all self I know. I cannot remember anything
other. It is a whole great empty space to me."
