He
struggled
madly
for
life
,
and
by
a
terrible
effort
wrenched
the
tightening
fingers
away
.
In
a
second
he
heard
the
click
of
a
revolver
,
and
saw
the
gleam
of
a
polished
barrel
pointing
straight
at
his
head
,
and
the
dusky
form
of
a
short
thick-set
man
facing
him
.
"
What
do
you
want
?
"
he
gasped
.
"
Keep
quiet
,
"
said
the
man
.
"
If
you
stir
,
I
shoot
you
.

"
You
are
mad
.
What
have
I
done
to
you
?
"
"
You
wrecked
the
life
of
Sibyl
Vane
,
"
was
the
answer
,
"
and
Sibyl
Vane
was
my
sister
.
She
killed
herself
.
I
know
it
.
Her
death
is
at
your
door
.
I
swore
I
would
kill
you
in
return
.
For
years
I
have
sought
you
.
I
had
no
clue
,
no
trace
.
The
two
people
who
could
have
described
you
were
dead
.
I
knew
nothing
of
you
but
the
pet
name
she
used
to
call
you
.
I
heard
it
to-night
by
chance
.
Make
your
peace
with
God
,
for
to-night
you
are
going
to
die
.
"
Dorian
Gray
grew
sick
with
fear
.
"
I
never
knew
her
,
"
he
stammered
.
"
I
never
heard
of
her
.
You
are
mad
.
"
"
You
had
better
confess
your
sin
,
for
as
sure
as
I
am
James
Vane
,
you
are
going
to
die
.
"
There
was
a
horrible
moment
.
Dorian
did
not
know
what
to
say
or
do
.
"
Down
on
your
knees
!
"
growled
the
man
.
"
I
give
you
one
minute
to
make
your
peace
--
no
more
.
I
go
on
board
to-night
for
India
,
and
I
must
do
my
job
first
.
One
minute
.
That
's
all
.

Dorian
's
arms
fell
to
his
side
.
Paralysed
with
terror
,
he
did
not
know
what
to
do
.
Suddenly
a
wild
hope
flashed
across
his
brain
.
"
Stop
,
"
he
cried
.
"
How
long
ago
is
it
since
your
sister
died
?
Quick
,
tell
me
!
"
"
Eighteen
years
,
"
said
the
man
.
"
Why
do
you
ask
me
?
What
do
years
matter
?
"
"
Eighteen
years
,
"
laughed
Dorian
Gray
,
with
a
touch
of
triumph
in
his
voice
.
"
Eighteen
years
!
Set
me
under
the
lamp
and
look
at
my
face
!
"
