And it seemed he would do so again, but just as the doldrums of winter gave way to the blossoms of spring, he developed a sore throat, a fever, and extreme exhaustion. He was undeniably ill, which meant there was no way he could board the Sleep Train. How will Lambden ever get through the long, dark night? You'll have to listen to find out.
