How soundly I slept, in my sleeping hours, after our great victory, -- Courage over Space, Hope over Time, Love over Brutality, the Heavenly Powers over the Demon Forces!
I sprang up, after my last morning slumber, with vitality enough for my wounded friend and myself. I felt that I could carry double responsibility, as Fulano had carried double weight. God has given me the blessing of a great, vigorous life. My body has always been a perfect machine for my mind's work, such as that may be; and never a better machine, with every valve, crank, joint, and journal in good order, than on that dawn at Luggernel Springs.
