Whether she's got the secret to dreamless sleeps or whether she wore him out enough to do the trick, he'll just have to spend the next few weeks figuring out, especially after he wakes up in her unfamiliar room and somehow doesn't have a panic about where he's been sent, to do what, and how much time he might have lost.]
