I had been on the point of repeating my name but suddenly, after holding my eyes for a moment with a look the profundity and familiarity of which I cannot express, he had broken into the most ghastly haunting laugh I have ever heard. "Harrison?" the words had broken throatily from him.... "Oh yes; I know you!... You shall very soon know that I know you if... if..."
