Wearied at last with thinking I fell into a sound sleep for about three-quarters of an hour , at the end of which I was awoke by my servant informing me that a chaise and four were drawn up at the end of the barrack lane . `` Why , surely , they are too early , Stubber ? It 's only four o'clock . '' `` Yes , sir ; but they say that the road for eight miles is very bad , and they must go it almost at a walk . '' That is certainly pleasant , thought I , but I 'm in for it now , so ca n't help it . In a few minutes I was up and dressed , and so perfectly transformed by the addition of a brown scratch-wig and large green spectacles , and a deep-flapped waistcoat , that my servant , on re-entering my room , could not recognise me .
