Chapter III
In spite of the events of the night Micky Mellowes slept soundly. It was half-past nine when he woke, to find his man Driver moving noiselessly about the room. When he saw that Micky was awake he approached the bed. "Good-morning, sir, and a happy New Year." Driver had an expressionless voice; he announced tea or tragedy in exactly the same tone.
