longer in body; but I was in a state of complete and absolute bliss that did not permit me to feel my loss. I was in a garden full of pleasant sights and sounds, tended and fed with delicious fruits by yet more delicious sylphs. All the delights of the senses were still mine. There was merely no body to become satiated and weary. And in "keef" I remained, until the almost inevitable sequel brought my experience to a close and aroused me.
I was in my own room and in bed. It was barely eleven o'clock. The lamp on my table was lighted; and I afterwards found that I had not only lighted it but also trimmed its wick. Since my return I had spoken to members of my family, and they had noticed nothing amiss with me. I had only complained of great sleepiness, and had at once gone upstairs. But, when I awoke, I was so little inclined to turn round and seek for real and rational slumber that I rose and dressed myself, and lost no time in jotting down some notes of my sensations. I discovered that I had undressed myself in my usual way.
