I
say,
what
are
you
waiting
for?
Why,
Miles,
not
yet
in
bed?
Not
even
undressed?
Oh,
I've
been
sitting,
sitting
and
thinking
Thinking?
Of
what
were
you
thinking?
Of
this
queer
life,
the
life
we've
been
living
What
do
you
mean
by
that?
That
life?
My
dear,
you
know
You're
always
watching,
watching,
watching
I
don't
know,
Miles,
for
you've
never
told
me
You've
told
me
nothing,
nothing
of
what
happened
before
I
came
I
thought
'til
today
that
you
were
quite
happy
I
am,
I
am
I'm
always
thinking,
thinking
Miles,
I've
just
written
to
your
guardian
What
a
lot
you'll
have
to
tell
him
So
will
your
Miles
Miles,
dear
little
Miles,
is
there
nothing
you
want
to
tell
me?
Marlowe
Marley,
I
am
listening
Miles,
what
happened
at
school?
What
happened
here?
Marley,
I
am
here
I
am
here
Miles,
if
you
know
how
I
want
to
hear
Marley
How
I-
I'm
waiting
How
I
want
you
to
hear
me
scream
Wait
here
Oh
Who
is
it?
Who
is
it?
My,
the
candle's
out
The
candle's
out
'Twas
I
who
blew
it,
who
blew
it,
dear
