I was conscious during the entire period. I was conscious, Mr. Watmuff, when you were gloating and exulting over what you believed to be my lifeless body. (MR. W:. Oh, don't! Spare me! spare me!) I was conscious, Mr. Watmuff, when you abstracted from my pocket the key of the cellar. (MR. W:. Oh, don't! don't!) I heard you, Mr. Watmuff, express your determination to possess yourself of a duplicate to that key. (MR. WATMUFF groans.) I heard you descend to the wine vaults, and was conscious of your return with beakers and flagons containing wine. (MR. WATMUFF groans.) I was conscious of the vile odor of tobacco pervading these rooms, which hitherto I had kept free from such pollution; and, mark this well, Mr. Watmuff, I was more than conscious when the smoke from your cigar, ejected from your lips, designedly suffused my countenance.
