But, as I say, I had a queer dream once; and queer because it came literally true three years afterward.” “Queer indeed, Paul.” “Happens to be true.

"'Tis very lonesome for 'ee in the heth tonight, mis'ess," said Christian, coming from the seclusion he had hitherto maintained. "Mind you don't get lost.
