"Well, then, you shouldn't talk so in your sleep." "True enough." "Well, no matter, Minny; it wasn't my Bernard you mean't, I am quite sure. May be you were talking about those priests on that great snowy mountain, somewhere in the world, which you made me so sleepy reading about the other evening?" "The Monks of St. Bernard, Miss."
