As you will never send for me, my dear Ferleitner, I have come again unasked to see how you fare. You are not ill?
gpt
Has the sentence come?
human
Not that I know of, answered the monk;
gpt
Isn't it too dark to see to write here?
human
You get accustomed to it. At first it was dark, but now it seems to get lighter and lighter.
gpt
So you've made your will at last?
human
A sort of one!
gpt
Let's see, then. You have something to leave?
human
I have not. Another has.
gpt
It seems to resemble the New Testament. Have you been copying it from the Gospel?
human
No, I haven't got a New Testament. That's why I had to write this for myself.
gpt
This Gospel! You've written one for yourself out of your own head?
human
Not exactly. Well, perhaps now and then I have. I've written what I could remember. I will be responsible for the errors.
gpt
My curiosity grows, cried the father.
human
May I read it?
gpt
It's not worth your trouble, but I knew of nothing else to help me.
human
The work has exhausted you, Ferleitner.
gpt
No; on the contrary, I may almost say it has revived me. I'm sorry it is finished. I thought of nothing else; I forgot everything.
human
Ferleitner, will you let me take it away with me for a few days?
