As he dismembered the corpse and cleaning up the blood , he heard something at the door.
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| As the bell sounded hour, there came a knocking at the street door. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
|
|
|
He started to hear a beating of a heart.
|
|
|
|
| | |
| It grew louder --louder --louder! And still the men chatted pleasantly and smile. | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
He finally lost his mind and admitted everything.
|
|
|
|
| | |
| Villians! dissemble no more! I admit the deed! --tear up the planks! here , here! --It is the beating of his hideous heart! | |
