CHAPTER XXX.
Denis had been calledbut in spite of the parted curtains he had
dropped off again into that drowsydozy state when sleep becomes a
sensual pleasure almost consciously savoured. In this condition he might
have remained for another hour if he had not been disturbed by a violent
rapping at the door.
Come in he mumbled lingering lovingly over the syllables[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], without opening his eyes. The latch clicked me.
And why somonseigneur,
a hand seized him by the shoulder and he was rudely shaken.
Get upget up [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]!
His eyelids blinked painfully apartand he saw Mary standing over
himbright-faced and earnest.
Get up [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]!
she repeated. "You must go and send the telegram. Don't
you remember?"
O Lord!
He threw off the bed-clothes; his tormentor retired.
Denis dressed as quickly as he could and ran up the road to the village
post office. Satisfaction glowed within him as he returned. He had sent
a long telegramwhich would in a few hours evoke an answer ordering
him back to town at once--on urgent business. It was an act performeda
decisive step taken --and he so rarely took decisive steps; he felt pleased
with himself. It was with a whetted appetite that he came in to breakfast.
Good-morning said Mr. Scogan. I hope you're better.
