Clif was glad that the next day was Sunday.
He could lie abed a half-hour later, which was something to rejoice over, and, save for church at eleven o'clock, no duties claimed him until study hour at eight.

The muscles were not as sore as he had expected they would be, and by the time he was ready for breakfast he felt quite fit. As though having atoned overnight for his talkativeness, Walter spoke but twice during dressing, and then only when spoken to.
