It’s nothing to do with you. Go to sleep again; I never felt the slightest pain. [_The Marksman groans in his sleep._] CLIMBER [_Embarrassed and shy._] Don’t you, really? FINN [_Resolutely._] No. I tell you it’s quite numb. CLIMBER [_Grieved and awkward._] Then you didn’t call me to come? FINN [_Turning his head away with a groan._] No. I am in no need. [_The Marksman groans in his sleep again. Finn turns and looks more attentively at the Climber, hesitating. She is pale and overstrained looking._] [_Kindly._] I really think you ought to feed Yourself up a bit. You’re not looking very fit. CLIMBER [_Hurriedly._] I was asleep. I’m quite all right. It’s just a silly dream. Good night. [_Marksman groans._] Be sure you keep awake. [_She retreats nervously._] FINN Good night. Be sure you keep Asleep. Don’t worry about me for any sake; I’m wide enough awake. [_The Marksman groans again, and Finn begins to nod heavily even as he speaks._] CLIMBER [_To the thief, bursting into tears._] They won’t believe my dream. You’ve made me feel an awful fool. He’s laughing now. I know I seem Quite childish! THIEF [_Aside._] To keep cool, The best way is by letting off some steam. [_To the Climber, very sternly._] The fault was yours. You have betrayed your dream. CLIMBER [_Weeps silently for a little, then wipes her eyes and speaks as if to herself._] They tell me that I have my birth Some other where, And though indeed I do not greatly care If this be true or no, I really think it must be partly so; For no one understands me in this house, I am not able all alone to rouse Them up. They just ignore me everywhere. I begin to think that I’m not quite all there. [_She sinks her head desperately between her hands._] THIEF [_Quietly._] I wasn’t laughing at you. CLIMBER [_Lifting her head quietly and recovering herself._] No, I knew. THIEF Perhaps I’ve left you rather much alone. CLIMBER Oh no! I think I’ve just outgrown My strength. THIEF [_Quietly._] Then if you’ve got that length You’ve come into your own. Lie down again; I’ll call you if he is in pain.
