Sleep came, then, much more quickly than he would have thought possible.

Sleep would come early in the night but not last.

But the sleep of the morning had come over me.

Although he went to bed, sleep did not come to him.

Sure enough sleep must soon have come to me, for I remember no more.

But sleep would not come, and she could think of nothing else.

She sat for a moment and knew sleep would not come.

Sleep wouldn't come for a long time tonight, she knew.

But the words wouldn't come, any more than sleep came now.

It was a long time before sleep came to either of us.
