"The dead linger sometimes. The man upstairs will not go away.
He is sitting at the table with bowed head and outstretched arms.
Alan! Alan! If you don't come to my assistance, I am ruined.
Why, they will hang me, Alan! Don't you understand? They will hang
me for what I have done."
"There is no good in prolonging this scene. I absolutely refuse
to do anything in the matter. It is insane of you to ask me."
