The disease of the lady Madeline had long baffled the skill of her physicians. A settled apathy, a gradual wasting
away of the person, and frequent although transient affections of a partially cataleptical character, were the unusual
diagnosis. Hitherto she had steadily borne up against the pressure of her malady, and had not betaken herself finally to
bed; but, on the closing in of the evening of my arrival at the house, she succumbed (as her brother told me at night
with inexpressible agitation) to the prostrating power of the destroyer; and I learned that the glimpse I had obtained of
her person would thus probably be the last I should obtain — that the lady, at least while living, would be seen by me
no more.

Here Legrand, having re-heated the parchment, submitted it to my inspection. The following characters were rudely

I remarked that, while all the witnesses agreed in supposing the gruff voice to be that of a Frenchman, there was
much disagreement in regard to the shrill, or, as one individual termed it, the harsh voice.
"That was the evidence itself," said Dupin, "but it was not the peculiarity of the evidence. You have observed
nothing distinctive. Yet there was something to be observed. The witnesses, as you remarked, agreed about the gruff
voice; they were here unanimous. But in regard to the shrill voice, the peculiarity is — not that they disagreed — but
that, while an Italian, an Englishman, a Spaniard, a Hollander, and a Frenchman attempted to describe it, each one
spoke of it as that of a foreigner. Each is sure that it was not the voice of one of his own countrymen. Each likens it —
not to the voice of an individual of any nation with whose language he is conversant — but the converse. The
Frenchman supposes it is the voice of a Spaniard, and `might have distinguished some words had he been acquainted
with the Spanish.' The Dutchman maintains it to have been that of a Frenchman; but we find it stated that `not
understanding French this witness was examined through an interpreter.' The Englishman thinks it the voice of a
German, and `does not understand German.' The Spaniard `is sure' that it was that of an Englishman, but `judges by the
intonation' altogether, `as he has no knowledge of the English.' The Italian believes it the voice of a Russian, but `has
never conversed with a native of Russia.'
