After an interregnum of some months came another bed-warmer for General King, this one a New York politician, also a friend of Seward's, an ancient politician, who had recently married a young wife desirous of a stay in some European capital, and, if possible, at the expense of the government. These at least were gentlefolk, and paid their bills without doing anything to scandalize the Romans.
All that we need is to light a fire, and an old-fashioned bed-warmer will do the rest. You remember Mr. Mangan?" The two men shook hands, and Seaman accepted a little refreshment after his drive. He lingered behind for a moment after the dressing bell had rung. "What time is that fellow going?" he asked. "Nine o'clock to-morrow morning," Dominey replied.
I wakened one night to a terrific thump which shook my bed, and which seemed to be the result of some one having struck the foot-board with a plank. Immediately following this came a sharp knocking on the antique bed-warmer which hangs beside my fireplace. When I had sufficiently recovered my self-control I turned on my bedside lamp, but the room was empty.
There they found the wounded man stretched on the snow, and just within the doorway lay Janice in a swoon, with Clarion licking her face. Both were carried to the house, and while Mrs. Meredith and the sergeant endeavoured to save the officer by a rude tourniquet, the squire held Janice's head over some feathers which Peg burned in a bed-warmer.
For most of us or alarm-clocks would not be made to ring continuously until the harassed bed-warmer gets up and stops the racket this getting out of bed is no such easy matter; and perhaps it will be the same when Gabriel's trumpet is the alarm-clock.
