At eleven----

“Baa! Baa!” I hear the sheep---- No; it is---- What is it? I cannot

see---- Something is being pressed down over my eyes, shutting out the

light. My arms--my feet are being tied--I cannot move. Help! Something

is closing on my neck--I cannot breathe. It is tightening--choking----

I hear the bleating of the sheep---- God! God! I am strangling! The

rope---- It is the rope--and Death.

May God have mercy on my Soul!
