MP3 Audio CD. A Holiday in Bed (in Short Nonfiction Collection Vol. 026 ) PEOPLE have tried a holiday in bed before now, and found it a failure, but that was because they were ignorant of the rules. They went to bed with the open intention of staying there, say, three days, and found to their surprise that each morning they wanted to get up.
