I had two helps from a splendid pot of broth that hung over a fire in the middle of the tent.
Kiomi was my companion's name.

She had sisters Adeline and Eveleen, and brothers Osric and William, and she had a cousin a prizefighter.

'That's what I'll be,' said I.Fiddling for money was not a prospect that charmed me, though it was pleasant lying in Kiomi's arms to hear Osric play us off to sleep; it was like floating down one of a number of visible rivers; I could see them converging and breaking away while I floated smoothly, and a wonderful fair country nodded drowsy.

From that to cock-crow at a stride.

Sleep was no more than the passage through the arch of a canal.
