Seitdem war seine Angst von Minute zu gewachsen. Er hatte versucht, sie als grundlos anzusehen, aber es gelang ihm nicht. Er hatte sich gesagt: »Es ist weiter nichts als der Wind im Schornstein«, oder: »Es ist nur eine Maus, die durchs Zimmer läuft«, oder: »Es ist nur eine Grille, die ein einziges Mal gezirpt hat.« Ja,er hatte versucht, sich mit diesen Vermutungen zu beruhigen; aber es war alles vergebens gewesen. Alles vergebens, weil der nahende Tod schon vor ihn hingetreten war und sein Opfer mit schwarzem Schatten umhüllte.
