Into a breathless, dewy sleep; so still,Still, that letter was enough to upset anybody, and no wonder I ran right across my garden, through Billy's hedge-hole and over into Dr. John's surgery to tell him about it; but I ought not to have been agitated enough to let him take the letter right out of my hand and read it.,"No," answered Hinter, resuming his seat, "I believe not.
