Beware the Dog : Roald Dahl [22 of 32]

  • "I will prove that I am not crazy. I will make a little speech about something complicated and intellectual.
  • I will talk about what to do with Germany after the war." But before he had time to begin, he was asleep.
  • He woke just as the first light of day was showing through the slit in the curtains over the window. The room was still dark,
  • but he could tell that it was already beginning to get light outside. He lay looking at the grey light which was showing through
  • the slit in the curtain, and as he lay there he remembered the day before. He remembered the Junkers 88's and the hardness of the water;
  • he remembered the large pleasant nurse and the kind doctor, and now the small grain of doubt took root in his mind and it began to grow.
