She put a bell near, that he might call her, and went to him several times before she slept, finding him somewhat restless, yet too profoundly asleep to be wakened by her light touch. Outraged nature was in charge now. “For three days an’ three nights there was no sleep fer his eyes nor slumber fer his eyelets.”.
