Could not bear anymore...?
Hi! everyone. I want to know whether the colored sentence is right in the context below?
.....The story of narrator's killing an old man who he did not like.......
Scenario-The narrator(the killer) Cut off the old man's(deadbodie's )head,arms and legs and hid them under wooden floor and deposit planks over the dead body. Three police officers arrived at the old man's house on a neighbour's report for investigation. The narrator was now in great distress to see the police officers.He made them sit in the dead man's room and he himself sat upon the spot where he had hid the old man's body. Very soon he started to hear the heartbeats of the old man(the dead body) (It was actually his concience who was shaking him rudely) This beating of heart grew louder and louder til he(narrator or killer) could not bear it anymore, and he confessed his crime feeling that police was also hearing the heartbeat.Is the colored sentence correct?
If it isn't,which of the below three are correct?-:
1-This beating of heart grew louder and louder till he(narrator or killer) could bear it anymore.
Or
2-This beating of heart grew louder and louder till he(narrator or killer) was no longer able to bear it.
3-This beating of heart grew louder and louder till he(narrator or killer)was not able to bear it anymore(and also please tell me, are 3 and 2 the same in meaning?
Thanks!
