• [In a dream-vision, Nick finds himself in a cornfield in Nebraska] 

  Nick Andros : I can hear! I can talk!

  [He approaches the porch of Mother Abigail, who is strumming a guitar and singing] 

  Nick Andros : I can hear. I can talk.

  Mother Abigail Freemantle : I know, Nick. Praise God.

  Nick Andros : [grinning]  How did you know my name?

  Mother Abigail Freemantle : Come to me in a dream, I reckon.

  Nick Andros : Is this a dream?

  Mother Abigail Freemantle : Mayhap it is, mayhap it ain't.

  Nick Andros : Who are you, ma'am?

  Mother Abigail Freemantle : Abigail Freemantle. But most round these parts just call me Mother Abigail. I'm a hundred and six years old, and I still make my own bread.

  [Nick smiles] 

  Mother Abigail Freemantle : I've been living right here in Hemmingford Home, Nebraska, all my life. You come see me, Nick. You and all your friends. You got to hurry, though.

  [Nick turns and Abigail looks up as the sky darkens and lightning flashes] 

  Mother Abigail Freemantle : There's a storm coming! HIS storm!

  [She points, and Nick sees, in the cornfield, a pitch-black figure with glowing red eyes. Nick is so startled that he wakes up] 

• Nick Andros : [Standing up and walking through a cornfield]  I can hear! I can talk!
