It was the first time in all those years that I had felt, even in a measure, free from care; and my feeling of relief it is hard to describe on paper.

Added to this was the delightful anticipation of being in Europe soon.

It all seemed more like a dream than like a reality.
Mr.Garrison had thoughtfully arranged to have us have one of the most comfortable rooms on the ship.

The second or third day out I began to sleep, and I think that I slept at the rate of fifteen hours a day during the remainder of the ten days' passage.

Then it was that I began to understand how tired I really was.
