When he fell asleep, twenty years ago, I was down at Boscastle with a box of water-colours and a noble, old-fashioned ambition. I didn't expect that some day my pigments would glorify the whole blessed coast of England, from Land's End round again to the Lizard. Luck comes to a man very often when he's not looking." Warming seemed to doubt the quality of the luck.
Little Boscastle. I fell asleep somewhere there. I don't exactly remember. I don't exactly remember." He pressed his brows and whispered, "More than two hundred years!" He began to speak quickly with a twitching face, but his heart was cold within him. "But if it is two hundred years, every soul I know, every human being that ever I saw or spoke to before I went to sleep, must be dead."
It was like motoring in a dream one of those dreams born before you've quite dropped asleep, while your eyes are still open.
