As he struggled to get his shirt over his head, he was struck with a brilliant idea. “Let me be in bed,” he said, and found himself so. “Undressed,’ he stipulated; and, finding the sheets cold, added hastily, ’and in my nightshirt—ho, in a nice soft woolen nightshirt. Ah!” he said with immense enjoyment. “And now let me be comfortably asleep . . .”

INDEXER NOTES (SPOILERS!)

• Publisher—We have no firsthand confirmation of how the publisher was listed for <i>The Illustrated London News</i> in 1898 (or even if there was a masthead). <a href='https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FThe_Illustrated_London_News%231860%E2%80%931900%3A_William_and_Charles_Ingram'>Wikipedia</a> lists William and Charles Ingram as the managing directors during this period, but we hesitate to list them as the official publisher in our records.
