The idea was startling to you because for years you have not felt like doing the least thing until some hot drink or a light lunch could relieve the faint, exhausted, all-gone feeling that seemed to hold physical and mental effort in a state of general paralysis. You went to your beds last night to dream a little ofbrighter times to come, and when you arose this morning there was not quite the exhaustion that has been yours for so many years, and the sun, as it arose, seemed for the first time to send its rays within to lighten those chambers of the soul that have been so heavily curtained through all the weary years.
