Matter, in the sublimated form of egg-flip, acted upon mind beneficially through the functions of a healthy, if weary, young body.
Our maiden slept, to dream not of ghostly ponies or other uncomfortably discarnate creatures; but of Darcy Faircloth in his pretty piece of Quixotism, rescuing a minister of the Church of England "as by law established" from heretical baptismal rites of total immersion.
The picture had a rough side to it, and also a merry one; but, beyond these, generous dealing wholly delightful to her feeling.
She awoke soothed and restored, ready to confront the oncoming of events--whatever their character--in a spirit of high confidence as well as of resolution.
