` It has indeed done me good , my Child . He has quieted my mind upon some points which agitated me , and I already feel the effects of his attention . My eyes grow heavy , and I think I can sleep a little . Draw the curtains , my Antonia : But if I should not wake before midnight , do not sit up with me , I charge you . ' Antonia promised to obey her , and having received her blessing drew the curtains of the Bed . She then seated herself in silence at her embroidery frame , and beguiled the hours with building Castles in the air . Her spirits were enlivened by the evident change for the better in Elvira , and her fancy presented her with visions bright and pleasing .
