Suddenly a strange hand appeared and wrote a message on the wall.

The right hand wrote new words on a piece of paper.

The hand wrote a single word at the top of the paper.

The right hand wrote these remarks upon another sheet of paper.

Only three months ago the same hand had written Marry me.

Then the hand wrote: Half a minute at the most.

Finally the hand wrote; but this time it inscribed no name.

The hand wrote on the list which had been prepared by deduction.

"These old hands do not write as they once did."

I know it so well, as if a great hand of fire wrote it on the wall.
