When I had made an end of these labors, it was four o'clock --still dark as midnight. As the bell
sounded the hour, there came a knocking at the street door. I went down to open it with a light heart,
--for what had I now to fear?

He had never wronged me. He had never given me insult. For his gold i had no desire. I think it was his
eye! yes, it was this! He had the eye of a vulture --a pale blue eye, with a film over it. Whenever it fell
upon me, my blood ran cold, and so by degrees --very gradually -- made up my mind to take the life of
the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever.
I kept quite still and said nothing. For a whole hour I did not move a muscle, and in the meantime I did
not hear him lie down. He was still sitting up in the bed listening --just as I have done night after
night, hearkening to the death watches in the wall.
