2: The file "memo" contains several paragraphs,

17: I sat silent some time, then turned to Harris and said:
18: ``My mind is made up.''
19: Something in my tone struck him; and when he glanced
20: at my eye and read what was written there, his face paled
21: perceptibly. He hesitated a moment, then said:
22: ``Speak.''
23: .PP
24: I answered, with perfect calmness:
25: ``I WILL ASCEND THE RIFFELBERG.''

27: If I had shot my poor friend he could not have fallen from
28: his chair more suddenly. If I had been his father he
29: could not have pleaded harder to get me to give up my
30: purpose. But I turned a deaf ear to all he said. When he
31: perceived at last that nothing could alter my determination,
32: he ceased to urge, and for a while the deep silence was broken only
33: by his sobs. I sat in marble resolution, with my
34: eyes fixed upon vacancy, for in spirit I was already
35: wrestling with the perils of the mountains, and my friend sat
36: gazing at me in adoring admiration through his tears. At
37: last he threw himself upon me in a loving embrace and
38: exclaimed in broken tones:
39: ``Your Harris will never desert you. We will die together!''
40: .PP
41: I cheered the noble fellow with praises, and soon his fears
42: were forgotten and he was eager for the adventure. He
43: wanted to summon the guides at once and leave at two in
44: the morning, as he supposed the custom was; but I explained that nobody
45: was looking at that hour; and that the start in the dark
46: was not usually made from the village but
47: from the first night's resting-place on the mountainside. I
48: said we would leave the village at 3 or 4 p.m. on the morrow;
49: meantime he could notify the guides, and also let the public
50: know of the attempt which we proposed to make.
51: .PP
52: I went to bed, but not to sleep. No man can sleep when
53: he is about to undertake one of these Alpine exploits. I
54: tossed feverishly all night long, and was glad enough when
55: I heard the clock strike half past eleven and knew it was
56: time to get up for dinner.
