...flailing wildly, completely
hysterical, snow-white in the face.
:07:05
He was foaming at the mouth,
and he moved like this...
:07:09
Something came floating down
like leaves -they were his shirts...
:07:13
...his screams were incredibly shrill.
:07:14
He could actually break
wine glasses with his voice.
:07:18
And three octaves too high he
screamed, 'Klara! You pig! '
:07:25
