Come and shake up my pillow, for my poor head aches sadly. I will try to get a little sleep." At that instant, a loud trampling of horses' feet was heard, together with the jingling of spurs and the clanking of armor.

We then went in and had some ice cream soda, which I paid for, Jane having nothing but a dollar, which she needed for a manacure.
But you were asleep and Danny said you might as well have it out. How are you feeling?" Tom sat up experimentally and took a deep breath.
