Then I woke wholly to myself, in terror, to find that he was not there, and now came to me some of that ease which had been born of the strange, sweet voice, and the strange words, "Mes Freres de Paradis." "My brethren of Paradise"; who could she be that rode so late in company of armed men, and yet spoke of such great kinsfolk?
He woke at once, so that providentially she was able to get up, and, having stood with her weight on one leg for five minutes, so as to be quite sure she did not fall, she crossed back to the window, took her nux vomica, and sat down with her tablets to note down the little affairs she would require, while Nedda took her place beside the bed, to fan him.
I woke with a splitting headache to find myself lying in a berth in a sleeping car; the same car in which I had been travelling when the accident or outrage occurred; for the windows were smashed and some of the woodwork splintered.
The Emperor being lost in thought, as he himself told me afterwards, did not notice the sentinel's challenge, and made no reply until a ball, whistling by his ears, woke him from his reverie, when immediately perceiving his danger, he threw himself face downwards on the ground, which was a very wise precaution; for hardly had his Majesty placed himself in this position, than other balls passed over his head, the discharge of the first sentinel having been repeated by the whole line.

"Roger, how I misunderstood you! How blind and stupid I was! God was raising up for me the best friend a girl ever had, and I acted so shamefully that anybody but you would have been driven away."
The Captain woke with a start and sneezed so violently that the boy next Daniel all but tittered outright.

I fell asleep almost at once. But when I woke rather with a start and I could not tell what had awakened me it was still quite, quite dark, certainly not to-morrow morning. 'Oh, dear!

"Well, now I am going to escort these ladies, and to-morrow I will have a talk with you." Esperance slept badly and woke late.
