So Carmel wakes up and has amnesia! Really?? Also I read Carmel but my brain says 🐫. Lol.

A heavy summons lies like lead upon me,
And yet I would not sleep Merciful powers!
Restrain in me the cursed thoughts that nature
Gives way to in repose.
Macbeth

I am not mad;—I would to heaven I were!
For then, ’tis like I should forget myself:
O, if I could, what grief should I forget!

As the day advanced and I began to realize that I, Elwood Ranelagh easy-going man of the world, but with traditions of respectable living on both sides of my house and a list of friends of which any man might be proud, was in a place of detention on the awful charge of murder, I found that my keenest torment arose from the fact that I was shut off
from the instant knowledge of what was going on in the house..
