She was very happy . Markham awoke late for the simple reason that it had been nearly morning when he went to bed . He awoke lying flat upon his back , and looked up dreamily at the pattern on the ceiling It was unfamiliar and that set his mind at work , and gradually he recognized where he was and why he was there . He reasoned idly that it must be as late as ten o'clock in the forenoon , and knew that by reaching out his arm he could open the shutter of the hotel window , admitting the sunlight and affording a view over the park and the blue lake , but he was laggard about it . There was a pleasure in debating the matter with himself . He could hear bells , the whistling of steamers and locomotives , the rumble of carriages and the murmur which comes from many distant voices . He recognized that another day in a great city was fairly on , and that the thousands were in motion while he lay listless .
