Pressing the pillow against his left ear, I asked him if he heard me, but he gave no sign. Removing the pillow and repeating the question, I was answered promptly that he did. ¡¡¡¡'Do you know you are deaf in the right ear?' I asked. ¡¡¡¡'Yes,' he answered in a low, strong voice, 'and worse than that. My whole right side is affected. It seems asleep. I cannot move arm or leg.' ¡¡¡¡'Feigning again?' I demanded angrily. ¡¡¡¡He shook his head, his stern mouth shaping a strange, twisted smile. It was indeed a twisted smile, for it was on the left side only,
oil painting the facial muscles of the right side moving not at all. ¡¡¡¡'That was the last stroke of the Wolf,' he said. 'I am paralyzed; I shall never walk again. Oh, only on the right side,' he added, as though divining the suspicious glance I flung at his left leg, the knee of which had just then drawn up and elevated the blankets. ¡¡¡¡'It's unfortunate,' he continued. 'I'd like to have done for you first, Hump. And I thought I had that much left in me.'
