Vendale!
gpt
What now? he answered, springing from his seat;
human
Not in bed? he said, catching him by both shoulders with an instinctive tendency to a struggle.
gpt
Then something _is_ wrong!
human
What do you mean?
gpt
First tell me; you are not ill?
human
Ill? No.
gpt
I have had a bad dream about you. How is it that I see you up and dressed?
human
My good fellow, I may as well ask you how it is that I see _you_ up and undressed?
gpt
I have told you why. I have had a bad dream about you. I tried to rest after it, but it was impossible. I could not make up my mind to stay where I was without knowing you were safe; and yet I could not make up my mind to come in here. I have been minutes hesitating at the door. It is so easy to laugh at a dream that you have not dreamed. Where is your candle?
human
Burnt out.
gpt
I have a whole one in my room. Shall I fetch it?
human
Do so.
