Softly ... softly ... if they should overhear us—
They ... who ... what on earth are you shaking at?
No matter ... hush ... hush ... you may have no such fear brother B. ... you are a bold man brother B. ... a very bold man ... but as for me ... hark!...
What’s the matter with you? ... What ails you?
Hush! ... hush ... do you not hear people whispering outside the door?
No.
A noise like that of somebody breathing hard?—
Yes—
You do ... the Lord help us.
I do man, I do—but it is yourself—you it is, that are breathing hard—what folly Matthew—what impiety at your age!
