The brilliant young officer, who\u003cbr\u003ehad just passed his eighteenth birthday, knew what it was even better\u003cbr\u003ethan an older person to pass a whole night on difficult duty, without\u003cbr\u003ea wink of sleep, for he had been accustomed to spend a portion of every\u003cbr\u003enight in planking the deck on his watch; but at Bonnydale, his quiet\u003cbr\u003ehome, far removed from the scenes of actual conflict, he was an\u003cbr\u003eindustrious sleeper, giving his whole attention to his slumbers, as a\u003cbr\u003eproper preparation for the stirring scenes in which he was again about\u003cbr\u003eto engage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe slept soundly; but he had dreamed that some one opened the door of\u003cbr\u003ehis room, or some one had actually done so. He was not a believer in\u003cbr\u003edreams, and when an impression had fastened itself upon his mind, he was\u003cbr\u003einclined to investigate it. It seemed to him that he had been awakened\u003cbr\u003efrom his sleep by the opening of the door of his chamber. Some member of\u003cbr\u003ethe family might be sick, and he might be needed to go for the doctor,\u003cbr\u003eor for some other service.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47163200241904,"sku":"2940013642508","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013642508_p0.jpg?v=1763583951","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013642508","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
