Why "the crash" not "a crash"?
From the story about dr Jekyll & Hyde:
....I was in the mere stupidity of wonder, before
terror woke up in my breast as sudden and startling
as the crash of cymbals, and bounding from my bed,
I rushed to the mirror.

P.S.: I don't know why people read J&H as their first (and
often last) work by Stevenson, who is a great master
of the short story.
Alexander & Anton are grownups who have chosen to read

they were in junior high... [chuckle].
