Hortense, however, undressed quickly and climbed into bed. Soon she was fast asleep, and the next thing she knew the sun was shining into her windows.
"It must have been a dream," said Hortense to herself, remembering all that had happened the evening before.
"Was it a dream, Highboy?" she said suddenly, looking at him.
"You may have dreamed," said Highboy irritably, "but I was so nervous I didn't sleep a wink."
Saying no more, Hortense dressed rapidly and went down to breakfast.
