In Chapter One, the action does not end the next morning. We are told, however, that he briefly came to his senses before once again passing out....

A stolid look of concern filled the husband's face, as if, after all, he had not quite anticipated this ending; and some of the guests laughed.

"Is she gone?" he said.

"Faith, ay! she's gone clane enough," said some rustics near the door.
