““I incline to Cain’s heresy,” he used to say quaintly: “I let my brother go to the devil in his own way.””
““I thought it was madness,” he said, as he replaced the obnoxious paper in the safe, “and now I begin to fear it is disgrace.””

““And now,” said Mr. Utterson, as soon as Poole had left them, “you have heard the news?””
““Yes,” he thought; “he is a doctor, he must know his own state and that his days are counted; and the knowledge is more than he can bear.””

““Here, sir,” said Poole, and gave into his hands a considerable packet sealed in several places.”
““There it is, sir,” said I, pointing to the drawer, where it lay on the floor behind a table and still covered with the sheet.”
“I, for my part, from the nature of my life, advanced infallibly in one direction and in one direction only.”
“I was still so engaged when, in one of my more wakeful moments, my eyes fell upon my hand.”
“My provision of the salt, which had never been renewed since the date of the first experiment, began to run low.”
