St. Martin’s Summer

CHAPTER XIX
10/11

The host and Rabecque bustled now to minister to his wants between them, and when, jaded and worn, Garnache lay at last between good-smelling sheets with the feeling in him that he was like to sleep until the day of judgment, he issued his final orders.
"Awake me at daybreak, Rabecque," said he drowsily.

"We must be stirring then.

Have horse ready and clothes for me.

Take away the light.
At daybreak! Don't let me sleep beyond that as you value your place with me.
