R. S., awoke with a start and discovered\u003cbr\u003ehimself to be bathed in cold perspiration. The moonlight shone in at\u003cbr\u003ehis window, but did not touch the bed, therefore his awakening could\u003cbr\u003enot be due to this cause. He lay for some time listening for any\u003cbr\u003eunfamiliar noise which might account for the sudden disturbance of\u003cbr\u003ehis usually sound slumbers. In the house below nothing stirred. His\u003cbr\u003ewindows were widely open and he could detect that vague drumming\u003cbr\u003ewhich is characteristic of midnight London; sometimes, too, the\u003cbr\u003eclashing of buffers upon some siding of the Brighton railway where\u003cbr\u003eshunting was in progress and occasional siren notes from the Thames.\u003cbr\u003eOtherwise--nothing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe glanced at the luminous disk of his watch. The hour was half-past\u003cbr\u003etwo. Dawn was not far off. The night seemed to have become almost\u003cbr\u003eintolerably hot, and to this heat Stuart felt disposed to ascribe\u003cbr\u003eboth his awakening and also a feeling of uncomfortable tension of\u003cbr\u003ewhich he now became aware. He continued to listen, and, listening\u003cbr\u003eand hearing nothing, recognized with anger that he was frightened.\u003cbr\u003eA sense of some presence oppressed him. Someone or something evil\u003cbr\u003ewas near him--perhaps in the room, veiled by the shadows. This\u003cbr\u003euncanny sensation grew more and more marked.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47079423869168,"sku":"2940013172388","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013172388_p0.jpg?v=1763577912","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013172388","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
