He rested upon\u003cbr\u003ehis back, staring at the ceiling, on whose white surface were twinkling\u003cbr\u003egolden dots and lines in a network which even his broken mind knew must\u003cbr\u003ebe the sunlight reflected from off the water somewhere. The windows of\u003cbr\u003ethe chamber were open, and the sweet summer air came in laden with the\u003cbr\u003eperfume of flowers piquantly mingled with pungent sea odors. Now and\u003cbr\u003ethen a bee buzzed by the casement, or a butterfly seemed tempted to\u003cbr\u003eenter the sick-room--apparently thought better of it, and went on its\u003cbr\u003ecareless way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOf all these things the sick man who lay there was unconscious, and the\u003cbr\u003esweet young girl sitting by his bed was too deeply buried in her book\u003cbr\u003eto notice them. For some time there was no movement in the chamber,\u003cbr\u003euntil, the close of a chapter releasing for an instant the reader's\u003cbr\u003eattention, she looked to discover that the patient's eyes were open.\u003cbr\u003eSeeing him awake, she rose and came a step nearer, thereby making the\u003cbr\u003esecond discovery, more startling than the first, that the light of\u003cbr\u003ereason had replaced in those eyes the stare of delirium.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47071125405936,"sku":"2940015888355","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940015888355","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
