'This wall-paper has a kind of sub-pattern in a, different shade, a 
particularly irritating one, for you can only see it in certain lights, and 
not clearly then.
        But in the places where it isn't faded and where the sun is just 
so--I can see a strange, provoking, formless sort of figure, that seems to 
skulk about behind that silly and conspicuous front design.' ...

'John was asleep and I hated to waken him, so I kept still and watched the 
moonlight on that undulating wall-paper till I felt creepy.
        The faint figure behind seemed to shake the pattern, just as if she 
wanted to get out.' ...

'It is the strangest yellow, that wall-paper! It makes me think of all the 
yellow things I ever saw--not beautiful ones like buttercups, but old foul, 
bad yellow things.' ...

'I don't like to look out of the windows even-- there are so many of those 
creeping women, and they creep so fast.
        I wonder if they all come out of that wall-paper as I did?'
