So I bethought me that it was time for me to be retiring to bed.

To my room, therefore, I went straightway, tiptoeing on the points of my hose.

And with ears cocked I heard my father attend the Duke to the door, and on across the yard, lest any night-wandering traitor should take a fancy to make a hole in the back of Duke Casimir of the Wolfmark.
Presently came my father in again, and I heard his foot climb steadily up to my room.

The door opened, and never was I in so deep a sleep.

He turned down the coverlet to see that I was undressed--but that I had seen to.
