Oh, Gord, he moaned.

Tyke me awy from this orful plice. Brady, recovered from the first shock, swore loud and luridly. He called upon all the saints to witness that he was unafraid and that anybody with half an eye could have seen that the creature was nothing more than
human
Yes, said Sinclair with fine sarcasm,
gpt
Shut up, you fool! growled Brady.
human
If you know so much, tell us what it was after bein' then.
gpt
What was it, sir, do you think?
human
I don't know, he said.

It looked like a winged human being clothed in a flowing white robe. Its face was more human than otherwise. That is the way it looked to me; but what it really was I can't even guess, for such a creature is as far beyond my experience or knowledge as it is beyond yours. All that I am sure of is that whatever else it may have been, it was quite material--it was no ghost; rather just another of the strange forms of life which we have met here and with which we should be accustomed by this time.

Hi seen hit. Blime, Hi seen hit. Hit was ha dead man flyin' through the hair. Didn't Hi see 'is heyes? Oh, Gord! Didn't Hi see 'em?
human

gpt
Yes--dead--a--long--while. It--means something. It--come--for some--one. For one--of us. One--of us is goin'--to die. I'm goin' to die!
human
Come! Come! snapped Bradley.
gpt
Won't do. Won't do at all. Get to work, all of you. Waste of time. Can't waste time.

It's a Long Way to Tipperary
