If ye've only three hours go straight up the now. I'll ha' something hot a' ready when ye waken." Ten minutes later Kerry was in bed, his short clay pipe between his teeth, and The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius in his hand.

Kencote church was old, and untouched by modern restoration or Catholic zeal.
As soon as the Night was come, when the stars in the sky and the glowworms on the earth were to pass in review, the Queen gave a sleeping-draught to Pintosmalto, who did everything he was told, and sent him to bed.
