Really. Is there anything the matter?

:41:09

I thought I'd seen eyes like yours.
I just remembered where.

:41:22

Eyes like mine?

:41:26

Why is it I didn't remember?

:41:31

What was the person like?

:41:36

A man who was sentenced to die, like me.

:41:48

There were three Judas-trees,

:41:51

and three men were shot at the same time.

:41:59

I was in the rear of two rows of men.

:42:04

I would have been shot soon.

:42:12

I had no idea that I would get a reprieve.

:42:17

I didn't think I'd live.

:42:23

And the man? The one with eyes like mine?

:42:32

In the first group shot.

:42:42

He couldn't have been over twenty.
He looked like a boy.

:42:50

Tied to that tree, he seemed to be in a trance.

:42:57

He suddenly began trembling.
