at eleven o clock the family went to bed, and by half past all the lights were out. some time after, MR Otis woke up because of a noise outside his room. It sounded like the clank of metal. he got up at once, struck a match and looked at the time.It was exactly one o clock. MR Otis
was quite calm the strange noise continued ,and with it he heard the sound of footsteps. he put on his slippers, took a small bottle out of his dressing case and opened the door . Right in front of him he saw an old man . he looked terrible . His eyes were red . His hair was long and grey. his
clothes were old-fashioned and dirty, and there were handcuffs and rusty chains on his wrists
and ankles.
