There are a few wakenings in your life that you would wish to last for ever, they are so blissful. Too often you wake in bewilderment, and then remember the bad news you went to sleep on, but now and then you open your eyes in the knowledge that all is well and safe and right, and there is nothing to do but lie there with eyes gently shut, enjoying every delicious moment.
Flashman, p.239, Pan edition, 12th printing, 1979.
