The trim-footed maid smiles, curtsies, and vanishes, closing the door behind her. Now upon the wall of the chamber, facing the bed, hangs the picture of a gentleman in a military habit with an uncomfortably high stock.

Hereupon Barnabas bids her "good night," but, blinking in the sunlight, gravely changes it to "good morning."
