The Physician and Godfather.
Godfather. It is certainly a great misfortune to be blind.
Physician. And at his age a very unusual one.
Godfather. His frame was always very fragile, and his mother died somewhat—so—so ...
Physician. How did she die?
Godfather. A little so ... you understand ... not quite in her right mind.
The Man (entering). I pray you, pardon my intrusion at so late an hour, but for the last night or two my son has wakened up at twelve o'clock, left his bed, and talked in his sleep.
Will you have the kindness to follow me, and watch him to-night?
Physician. I will go to him immediately; I am very much interested in the observation of such phenomena.
