think of that for a record? Wouldn't you say that there was something wrong with the works?"
"It does you great credit, Gill."
"It isn't so much the horses, I shouldn't mind if it was only them, but it's everything. I can't think of what has happened, but everything that's going to happen I can see quite well."
"Are you in earnest?"
"Try me and see! If there's anything you want to know about what's going to happen in the middle of next week, apply here for information. It's awful—I'm getting a regular freak of nature."
"Do you know, if what you say is correct, you could easily make your fortune—and mine?"
"I suppose I could."
"If, for instance, you were to act on your own tips."
"Just so."
"Then why don't you?"
"I'll tell you one reason why I don't—because I can see what's coming."
"But if you can, that's exactly the reason why you should."
"There's one thing coming to-morrow, and that's an end of me."
"What do you mean?"
"By this time to-morrow I'll be dead."
"You're carrying it too far, my friend."
"I am carrying it too far—I feel I am! I know I am! That's where it is! I don't only see the things I want to see, but I see the things I don't want to see; and I see that by this time to-morrow I'll be dead—ah, dead, sitting in that chair."
