round three

Original (from "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe):

The officers were satisfied. My _manner_ had convinced them. I

was singularly at ease. They sat, and while I answered cheerily,

they chatted of familiar things. But, ere long, I felt myself getting

pale and wished them gone. My head ached, and I fancied a ringing

in my ears: but still they sat and still chatted. The ringing

became more distinct:--it continued and became more distinct:--

I talked more freely to get rid of the feeling: but it continued and

gained definitiveness--until, at length, I found that the noise was

_not_ within my ears.

and:

The police were satisfied. My conduct had been verified by them. I was

very much at my ease. As they sat talking about the same old stuff, I

happily replied, but as time went on, my emotion was one of blanching,

and I wished for the police to be gone. My head ached, and I imagined

there to be ringing in my ears. But still the police sat and still they

talked. The ringing grew more and more pronounced. I spoke more freely,

so as to be rid of this feeling. But it persisted, getting ever more

clear, and I realized that the noise was in fact not inside my ears.

evgenis:

The policeman has got what he wanted. He is almost convinced of

my good behaviour. I feel very relaxed. As he keeps sitting and

chatting banalities I happily reply. Still, for a long while, I

feel blood rushed from my face, and I want him to leave. My head

aches and I feel like buzzing. Still, he keeps sitting and

talking. The buzzing feeling grows. I am earnestly trying to

speak freely to get rid of him. Still, the feeling persists and

grows. I start to understand that it is not with my ears that I

feel it.

kreig:

The police succeed because they want to. It nearly believes that I

am a good behaver. I feel very relaxed. Continualy, the fact of its

continually sit-speaking to the ordinaries is happily replying to me.

But, for a long time, I sense that blood is draining from my face.

And I want it to go away. I feel pain in the head and sense the

noise-oscillations. I am anxious; it continually sits and talks. What

the noise-oscillations sense is increasing. I act seriously, flowingly

speaking to its wasteful departure. But that which is sensed survives

and increases. I, on being born, sense by means of my things which are

not really ears.

greg:

He almost certainly thought that I behaved well. I felt very relaxed. I

answered happily while he and the regulars sat talking. Some time

later, however, I felt the blood drain from my face and I wished he

would leave. I had a headache and could feel loud shaking. I was

nervous and continued sitting and talking. I could feel the loud

vibration increasing. I make a serious attempt to talk fluidly to what

the blood had left behind, but the feeling stayed and increased. At

birth, I couldn't sense anything with my ears.

rab:

He indeed believed that I behaved politely. I relaxed greatly. I happily

responded when he and the regular guests sat and chatted. But later, I

felt the blood drain from my face, and I hoped that he would leave. I

got a headache and noticed a loud trembling. I was nervous, yet I still

sat and talked. I felt the trembling increase. I seriously tried to talk

flowingly to that which was left by the blood, but the feeling continued

and increased. My ear was stimulated during my inability to give birth.
