Summary
"This one is a special case," Burgess says. "He is a war hero. Do you understand? You will be on your best behavior. You know what happens when you are not."
Two years into his imprisonment, and Dream of the Endless has not given Roderick Burgess what he wants. Yet if he cannot have back his son, then he will have whatever else Dream has to give, and sell it to the highest bidder: body, powers, and all.
Hob Gadling, newly back from the Western Front, has barely slept since 1889, and is desperate for any sort of relief, even that peddled by mad old men claiming to be warlocks.

Summary
“Did you sleep well?” Dream asks him, and he must know, he must, how once upon a time Hob had sat across from him and joked about eating the table while his mouth had watered for a taste of kindness, a lick of comfort, a single drop of blood.
