"The Picture in the House" by H.P. Lovecraft

The accent of the old man is written into the text. Poe did that once or twice as well. It's fine enough when you are just reading to yourself, but a bit awkward when reading aloud, and not just because it is a bit of a tricky accent... Ah well, c'est la vie :-P

The picture used is the damnable plate XII of Pigafetta's "Regnum Congo".
