"'But don't come in now, Death.'
"'I am coming in. I have waited for a long time. I have held a mortgage on you for fifty years, and I've come to foreclose.'
"'But, ah, Death, I'm not ready.'
"'Hush! Hush! I've come to take you. You must come.'
"'Death! Death! Go get my pocketbook, there! Go get my bankbook! Go get the key to my safety deposit box! Take my gold watch, my jewelry, my lands, my home, everything I've got, I'll give all to you if you'll only go.'
"But Death Says, 'I've Come for You'"
"But Death says, 'I've come for you. I don't want your money or your land or anything that you have. You must come with me.'
"'Death! Death! Don't blow that icy breath upon me. Don't crowd me against the wall!'
"'You must come! You have a week—you have five days—you have one day—you have twelve hours—you have one hour—you have thirty minutes—you have ten minutes—you have one minute—you have thirty seconds— you have ten seconds! I'll count them—one—two—three—four—five—six—ha! ha!—seven—eight—nine—ten!'
