- Such was the passing of Madeline Usher... once living, now dead.

- And her very death, untimely in its aspects, bore to my trembling soul a portent of events yet more hideous, more horrible - and yet to come.

- At a later hour of that same sad night, Roderick came into my chamber to voice an intention so morbidly unnatural that, for the moment, I could only feel that his tottering reason had at last failed him entirely.

- Then you refuse?

- But why? Why?

- I could not stand to think of her buried out there in the dark graveyard, alone among the dead.

- She is dead.

- She was so lovely was my sister.
