He drew his bow across the sobbing strings and the legend began. Under the spell of his violin, the chatter of the supper room ceased the air now heavy with the mingled scent of perfume and cigars, seemed to pulsate under the throb of the wild melody as he played on, no one spoke the men even forgetting to smoke; the women listening, breathing with parted lips.
It was sport to see the blade of the gladiator enter the quivering, living flesh of his fellow-gladiator; it was joy to see the warm blood spurt forth from the writhing victim while he still lived; but it were sacrilegious to approach that body with the knife of the anatomist, once it had ceased to pulsate with life.
"At the meetings called 'spirit circles, invisible hands have been thrust into the hands of those persons round the table, warm, fleshly hands that seemed to pulsate with mortal life." "What? Do you think, then, that this thing is " "I don't know what it is," was the solemn reply; "but please the gods I will, with your assistance, thoroughly investigate it."
The slender limbs seemed to pulsate into life, the little breasts to stir perceptibly, the parted lips to tremble. He could not define the actual moment of the change but, as he bent forward, with hands close gripped, all at once he found himself looking straight into the tortured grey eyes for a second only.
But, subjected to the double attraction of matter and of sin, the initiate saw the memories and attributes of its spirituality fade. He saw it flutter, and fluttering sink.

Swelling occurs late, and is due to expansion of the bone; it is fusiform or globular, and is at first densely hard, but in time there may be parchment-like or egg-shell crackling from yielding of the thin shell. The swelling may pulsate, and a bruit may be heard over it.
“You forget the phenomena of which we have so often heard of late,” answered the doctor gravely. “At the meetings called ‘spirit circles,’ invisible hands have been thrust into the hands of those persons round the table—warm, fleshly hands that seemed to pulsate with mortal life.” “What? Do you think, then, that this thing is——”
It is in like manner evident that the auricles pulsate, contract, as I have said before, and throw the blood into the ventricles; so that wherever there is a ventricle, an auricle is necessary, not merely that it may serve, according to the general belief, as a source and magazine for the blood: for what were the use of its pulsations had it only to contain?

I must lay a heavy mantle on my breast, and wrap fold after fold upon my heart, that its beating may not be heard. Why have we hearts? Heads are better, and guide us to safer ports. "'T is past the midnight hour. What scratches of the pen I have put upon this virgin page.
