Obstinate.--And I will go back to my place; I will not be one of
such vain folk.

Now I saw in my dream, that when Obstinate was gone back,
Christian and Pliable set off to cross the plain, and they spoke
thus as they went:--

Christian.--Well, Pliable, how do you do now? I am glad you have
a mind to go with me.

Pliable.--Come, friend Christian, since there are none but we two
here, tell me more of the things of which we go in search.

Christian.--I can find them in my heart, though I know not how to
speak of them with my tongue; but yet, since you wish to know,
this book tells us of a world that hast no bounds, and a life
that has no end.

Pliable.--Well said, and what else?

Christian.--That there are crowns of light in store for us, and
robes that will make us shine like the sun.

Pliable.--This, too, is good; and what else?

Christian.--That there shall be no more care nor grief for he
that owns the place will wipe all tears from our eyes.

Pliable.--And what friends shall we find there?
