Cowan, James

"Daybreak; a Romance of an Old World"

There as no telling what other
preposterous tales he might invent. So I said to him gently:
"Doctor, your last remark makes it easier for me to tell you that the
first words you said to me on this vessel showed me that you were not
right. I kept it from our new friends here, and I thought I had better
tell you how you are, so you can be a little cautious. You talk all right
on most subjects, but you will do well to avoid the moon as a topic of
conversation. If the others ask any more questions about the moon, you can
just let me answer them."
I said all this seriously enough, but the doctor laughed boisterously as
he answered:
"Well, if this isn't a joke. You think I am crazy, and I know you are
crazy, and I can prove it. I will just ask you one question, which please
answer truthfully. Don't you remember Mona?"
"Oh, there is Mona again! Don't you see that only proves your own madness?
No, I don't remember Mona, and you don't either."
"I must say," returned the doctor, "I never expected to see you get over
your infatuation so quickly.
