“Why were you playing ghost, for you thus brought your death upon yourself?”
No reply.
“Have you no kindred, no friends to whom you wish to send a last word?”
“I will leave no word.”
“But would it not be best?”
“No.”
“If you wish your friends to know of your death, upon my word I will not tell them what you are.”
“Let me die in silence.”
