He awoke about nine in the morning to find Mrs. Bower by his bedside . ` Eh , marquis , finely we have jinked them , ' said Mrs. Bower ; and she went on to recount the ingenious measures by which the marquis , recovering from his ` dwawm , ' had secretly withdrawn himself . ` I mind nothing of it , Jeanie , my woman , ' said the marquis . ` I thought I wakened with some deevil running a knife into me ; he might have gone further , and I might have fared worse .
