They spent so very pleasant an evening that the earl settled down into a comfortable expectation of the renewal of his old habits in the September and October season . Nevil 's frightful cry played on his ear-drum at whiles , but not too affectingly . He conducted Rosamund to her room , kissed her , hoped she would sleep well , and retired to his good hard bachelor 's bed , where he confidently supposed he would sleep . The sleep of a dyspeptic , with a wilder than the monstrous Bevisham dream , befell him , causing him to rise at three in the morning and proceed to his lady 's chamber , to assure himself that at least she slept well . She was awake . ` I thought you might come , ' she said . He reproached her gently for indulging foolish nervous fears .
