“You should have seen how wisely I proceeded --with what
caution --with what foresight --with what dissimulation I went to
work! I was never kinder to the old man than during the whole
week before I killed him.” (Poe)

“My heart grew sick; it was the dampness of the catacombs that
made it so. I hastened to make an end of my labour. I forced the
last stone into its position; I plastered it up. Against the new
masonry I re-erected the old rampart of bones. For the half of a
century no mortal has disturbed them. In pace requiescat!” (Poe)
