— I shall never sleep again

Read the full text in our reader

— Fazei o que vos aprouver! Sois homem, e não tendes medo de nada! Mas eu, continuou arrepiando-se, não poderei mais dormir, só com a idéia de que uma jararaca sobe-me à cama; de dia a todo momento julgarei que algum gato montês vai saltar-me pela janela; que a minha roupa está cheia de lagartas de fogo! Não há forças que resistam a semelhante martírio!

The setting

'Do as you please! You are a man, and afraid of nothing! But I,' she went on, bristling, 'shall never be able to sleep again, only at the idea that a pit-viper is climbing into my bed; by day at every moment I shall think some wildcat is going to spring at me through the window; that my clothes are full of fire-caterpillars! There is no strength that can withstand such a martyrdom!'
