WILLIAM.
Why, do you believe that there are no apparitions?
CHARLES.
Indeed I do not give credit to the stories I have been told lately; my father would never allow such subjects to be mentioned when I was a child. But, Edward, tell me now what made you so suddenly get out of bed?
EDWARD.
An apparition, I tell you, Charles.
CHARLES.
Perhaps you were dreaming?
EDWARD.
A likely story truly—I think I know when I am awake.
