CHARLES.
And what did you see then?
EDWARD.
I had just put out my candle, and before I could fall asleep, I plainly heard something run across the chamber. I then started up in bed and saw in the farther corner two lights, they moved about, and sometimes appeared very small and then glared like large balls.
CHARLES.
That was certainly no more than a glittering in your eyes.
EDWARD.
What?—What I saw so clearly?—I then kept myself quite still—the light vanished, and I heard a great bounce against the door.
WILLIAM.
I should have been frightened, I am sure.
