Except for certain streaks of a slovenliness which seems to be an almost unavoidable defect in me, there is little to be ashamed of in the writing of the opening portion; but it will be fairly manifest to the critic that instead of being put aside and thought over through a leisurely interlude, the ill-conceived latter part was pushed to its end.

... My circumstances demanded that one or other should be finished before I took any rest, and so I wound up the Sleeper sufficiently to make it a marketable work, hoping to be able to revise it before the book printers at any rate got hold of it.

...It may sound incredible, said the stranger, turning weary eyes to Isbisters face and emphasizing his words with a languid hand, but I have had no sleep-no sleep at all for six nights.

...Trances had lasted for as much as a year before-but at the end of that time it had ever been a waking or a death; sometimes first one and then the other.

...And while he has been lying here, said Isbister, with the zest of a life freely spent, I have changed my plans in life; married, raised a family, my eldest lad-I hadnt begun to think of sons then-is an American citizen, and looking forward to leaving Harvard.
