But the eyes were open and sensitive, though the films of the grave were setting upon them. "He wakened fra' his sleep, as yo left him in, and began to mutter and moan; but he soon went off again, and we never knew he were awake till he called his wife, but now she's here he's gotten nought to say to her."
