Excerpt from The Five Nights of St. Albans, Vol. 2 of 3: A Romance of the Sixteenth Century

No, replied Helen; I watched for your return, and now I have come to bid you good night.

Good night, then, replied her father and he pressed her hand affectionately.

I should be sleepy, too, answered Helen, at this drowsy hour but I know not what drug or opiate could make me so.
