David Grayson
95
He
was
trembling
with
excitement
and
pale
with
emotion
and
weariness.
One
must
begin
the
quiet
life
with
rest.
So
I
got
him
off
to
bed,
first
pouring
him
a
bathtub
of
warm
water.
I
laid
out
clean
clothes
by
his
bedside
and
took
away
his
old
ones,
talking
to
him
cheerfully
all
the
time
about
common
things.
When
I
finally
left
him
and
came
downstairs
I
found
Harriet
standing
with
frightened
eyes
in
the
middle
of
the
kitchen.
"I'm
afraid
to
have
him
sleep
in
this
house,"
she
said.
But
I
reassured
her.
"You
do
not
understand,"
I
said.
Owing
to
the
excitement
of
the
evening
I
spent
a
restless
night.
Before
daylight,
while
I
was
dreaming
a
strange
dream
of
two
men
running,
the
one
who
pursued
being
the
exact
counterpart
of
the
one
who
fled,
I
heard
my
name
called
aloud:
"David,
David!"
I
sprang
out
of
bed.
"The
tramp
has
gone,"
called
Harriet.
He
had
not
even
slept
in
his
bed.
He
had
raised
the
window,
dropped
out
on
the
ground
and
vanished.
