and to sleep all I can.

Indeed he started the habit by making me lie down for an
hour after each meal.

It is a very bad habit I am convinced, for you see I don't
sleep.

And that cultivates deceit, for I don't tell them I'm
awake--O no!

The fact is I am getting a little afraid of John.

He seems very queer sometimes, and even Jennie has an
inexplicable look.

It strikes me occasionally, just as a scientific
hypothesis,--that perhaps it is the paper!

I have watched John when he did not know I was looking, and
come into the room suddenly on the most innocent excuses, and
I've caught him several times LOOKING AT THE PAPER! And Jennie
too. I caught Jennie with her hand on it once.

She didn't know I was in the room, and when I asked her in a
quiet, a very quiet voice, with the most restrained manner
possible, what she was doing with the paper--she turned around as
if she had been caught stealing, and looked quite angry--asked me
why I should frighten her so!
