from Clarence and the Dead
"Clarence, come back here."
She said Clarence reached out for the man's hand but didn't touch it and said: "She says she grieves for your pain, but you were wrong to give it all up for her..."
"What? Who?" miss Eunice said Ellsworth's eyes looked madder than she'd ever seen them look and he commenced to quake and tremble.
"Mildred. She says she wants you to return to the living folk. She says you have eternity to be dead. You love too much, she says. There's more to life than love."
