I saw a head thrust round the edge of the tent. And then I saw that it was not Sangree at all. I SAW A HEAD THRUST ROUND THE EDGE OF THE TENT AND THEN I SAW THAT IT WAS NOT SANGREE AT ALL
 Dr. Silence would hold himself in readiness to come. "Unless you should send for me sooner," he had said. I found myself suddenly wide awake. It is impossible to say what woke me, but it was no gradual process, seeing that I jumped from deep sleep to absolute alertness in a single instant. I had evidently slept for an hour and more, for the night had cleared, stars crowded the sky, and a pallid half-moon just sinking into the sea threw a spectral light between the trees. I went outside to sniff the air, and stood upright. A curious impression that something was astir in the Camp came over me, and when I glanced across at Sangree's tent, some twenty feet away, I saw that it was moving. He too, then, was awake and restless, for I saw the canvas sides bulge this way and that as he moved within. The flap pushed forward. He was coming out, like myself, to sniff the air; and I was not surprised, for its sweetness after the rain was intoxicating. And he came on all fours, just as I had done. NDERSTOOD THAT DOCTOR SILENCE WOULD HOLD HIMSELF IN READINESS TO COME UNLESS YOU SHOULD SEND FOR ME SOONER HE HAD SAID I FOUND MYSELF SUDDENLY WIDE AWAKE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SAY WHAT WOKE ME BUT IT WAS NO GRADUAL PROCESS SEEING THAT I JUMPED FROM DEEP SLEEP TO ABSOLUTE ALERTNESS IN A SINGLE INSTANCE I HAD EVIDENTLY SLEPT FOR AN HOUR OR MORE WHEN FOR THE NIGHT HAD CLEARED THE STARS CROWDED THE SKY AND A PALLID HALF MOON JUST SINKING INTO THE SEA THREW A SPECTRAL LIGHT BETWEEN THE TREES I WENT OUTSIDE TO SNIFF THE AIR AND STOOD UPRIGHT A CURIOUS IMPRESSION THAT SOMETHING WAS ASTIR IN THE CAMP CAME OVER ME AND WHEN I GLANCED ACROSS AT SANGREE'S TENT SOME TWENTY FEET AWAY I SAW THAT IT WAS MOVING HE TOO THEN WAS AWAKE AND RESTLESS FOR I SAW THE CANVAS SIDES BULGE THIS WAY AND THAT AS HE MOVED WITHIN THE TENT FLAP PUSHED FORWARD HE WAS COMING OUT LIKE MYSELF TO SNIFF THE AIR AND I WAS NOT SURPRISED FOR ITS SWEETNESS AFTER THE RAIN WAS INTOXICATING AND HE CAME ON ALL FOURS JUST AS I HAD DONE
