"Did she say it was the same dream?"
"She told me her husband had come back. She said nothing more."
"Has she told you that more than once?"
"No, sir. Only once so far."
Doctor Benton looked at the sensible face very hard. He hesitated before he put his next question.
"But you think she has seen him since she spoke to you? You feel that she might speak of it again—at almost any time?"
"She might, sir, and she might not. It may seem like a sacred thing to her. And it's no business of mine to ask her about things she'd perhaps rather not talk about."
"Do you think that she believes that she sees her husband every night?"
"I don't know what I think, sir," said Dowie in honourable distress.
