That night, when his wife was in bed, and Captain slept soundly on the rug in front of the fire, Moses opened a safe that stood in the corner of the room, and, taking therefrom a bundle of deeds, selected one docketed 'Crawshaw Fold. He then took from a drawer a number of agreements, and carefully drew forth those which gave him his hold on the Crawshaws.
There had been moments of watchfulness, of uncertainty, on Jim's part, the first few hours of the first night after they left the Cree reservation; but the conviction speedily came to Jim that all was well; for the chief slept soundly from the moment he lay down in his blankets between the dogs.
"It is rather an aggregation of sounds, emanating in unison from your good friends the Marquis of Jerningham, Viscount Devenham and Mr. Vere-Manville they sleep remarkably soundly!" "And the others, sir?" "Departed in the small hours, with your uncle George and four of 'em in tears!" "It was a dreadful night, sir." "It was a night of nights, Peregrine. I remember only one to equal it."
Jones said that he endeavored to administer the mixture to the old man, but that he refused to take it. Jones had already procured the chloroform from Texas, as has been stated, and had turned it over to Patrick. He says that that afternoon he procured this from Patrick, who told him how to administer it. This was a few moments after six o'clock. Rice was sleeping soundly.
"I can show you the very bed on which he slept, if you desire to see it. He retired soon after sunset slept soundly, as he always sleeps and arose as I have told you. I lighted a fire, and made him some hot pottage myself." "If she speaks the truth, you must be mistaken," observed Richmond in a whisper to his friend. "I do not believe her," replied Surrey, in the same tone.
Norvin Blake slept soundly, as befitted a healthy young man with less than the usual number of cares upon his mind, and, notwithstanding the fact that he had retired at a late hour, somewhat worn by his journey, he awoke earlier than usual.
If reason will not pierce, rage will scarce avail to drive it in. Satirical virulency may vex men sorely, but it hardly ever soundly converts them. "Few become wiser or better by ill words."
"He is a Norman a vassal of Richard's own," said Carloman. "A Norman, is he? I thought we had got rid of the robbers! We want no robbers here! Scourge him soundly, Perron, and teach him how to stop my way!" "He is a pilgrim, my Lord," suggested one of the followers. "I care not; I'll have no Normans here, coming spying in disguise. Scourge him, I say, dog that he is! Away with him! A spy, a spy!"
And M. Binet, who was not blind to the force of the idea, yielded, took courage, and got drunk with the rest. Diligent search among the many scenarios of the improvisers which have survived their day, has failed to bring to light the scenario of "Les Fourberies de Scaramouche," upon which we are told the fortunes of the Binet troupe came to be soundly established.
Very quaint and rich in wisdom it was: "Does each day upon its wing Its appointed burden bring? Load it not besides with sorrow That belongeth to the morrow. When by God the heart is riven, Strength is promised, strength is given: But fore-date the day of woe, And alone thou bear'st the blow." When I had said this over to myself, I laid my head on the pillow and slept soundly.
