The Brown Fairy Book Quote I

'Did you not hear the song?' she asked, trembling.
'Suppose I did, how could that hurt me? It was the loveliest song I ever heard!'
'Yes, and after the song will come the apparation; and after that-after that--'
'I don't understand. Well-after that?'
'After that-death.'
