Then the crackings and snappings before my front wall ceased altogether. The bed resumed its ordinary horizontal position, and although I did not know at what moment the house had ceased sliding and had come to a standstill, I was sure that it had done so.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
