The Yellow Wallpaper: Entry #11 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hurrah! This is the last day, but it is enough. John is to stay in town over night, and won’t be out until this evening.Jennie wanted to sleep with me—the sly thing! but I told her I should undoubtedly rest better for a night all alone.That was clever, for really I wasn’t alone a bit! As soon as it was moonlight, and that poor thing began to crawl and shake the pattern, I got up and ran to help her.I pulled and she shook, I shook and she pulled, and before morning we had peeled off yards of that

If only that top pattern could be gotten off from the under one! I mean to try it, little by little.I have found out another funny thing, but I shan’t tell it this time! It does not do to trust people too much.There are only two more days to get this paper off, and I believe John is beginning to notice. I don’t like the look in his eyes.And I heard him ask Jennie a lot of professional questions about me. She had a very good report to give.She said I slept a good deal in the daytime.John knows I

I think that woman gets out in the daytime!And I’ll tell you why—privately—I’ve seen her!I can see her out of every one of my windows!It is the same woman, I know, for she is always creeping, and most women do not creep by daylight.I see her on that long shaded lane, creeping up and down.

The woman behind shakes it!Sometimes I think there are a great many women behind, and sometimes only one, and she crawls around fast, and her crawling shakes it all over.<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!i2eR!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post
The Yellow Wallpaper: Entry #7 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’m feeling ever so much better! I don’t sleep much at night, for it is so interesting to watch developments; but I sleep a good deal in the daytime.In the daytime it is tiresome and perplexing.There are always new shoots on the fungus, and new shades of yellow all over it. I cannot keep count of them, though I have tried conscientiously.It is the strangest yellow, that wallpaper! It makes me think of all the yellow things I ever saw—not beautiful ones like buttercups, but old foul, bad yellow t
