Moreover, I saw in my dream, that as they went on, Faithful, as he chanced to look on one side, saw a man whose name is Talkative, walking at a distance beside them; for in this place there was room enough for them all to walk. He was a tall man, and something more comely at a distance than at hand. To this man Faithful addressed himself in this manner: FAITH. Friend, whither away? Are you going to the heavenly country? TALK. I am going to the same place. FAITH. That is well; then I hope we may have your good company. TALK. With a very good will will I be your companion.
