She lay in bed subconsciously awake, subconsciously asleep, her thoughts drifting into dreams, her limbs merging into one another. "This is happiness," she murmured to herself, and feeling consciousness invade her, she clutched at the perfect moment, and it was gone. Smiling at her defeat she stretched herself luxuriously like a cat and poked her toes out into a cool expanse of sheet.
God be praised at last! Then he fell asleep, and heard nothing more. Mr. Tiralla had moved along by the walls of his room. He ran like a restless animal in a cage; not quickly he could not do that but to and fro as though in despair. It seemed to him that she had been with him, but he did not know for certain. And that was what he was pondering over now.
Again, And although this is not counted a great matter to do, while men are far from the law, and while their conscience is asleep within them; yet when the law comes near, and conscience is awake, who so tries it, will find it a laboursome work. Cain could not do thus for his heart, no, nor Saul; nor Judas, neither.
Bostil, much relieved to get home, went to bed and at once fell asleep. He awakened at a late hour for him. When he dressed and went out to the kitchen he found that his sister had learned of his return and had breakfast waiting. "Where's the girl?" asked Bostil. "Not up yet," replied Aunt Jane. "What!" "Lucy and I had a tiff last night and she went to her room in a temper."
In hoping to vanquish king Yudhishthira the just, thou really hopest to separate, stick in hand, from a herd roaming in Himalayan valleys, its leader, huge as a mountain peak and with the temporal juice trickling down its rent temples. Out of childish folly thou art kicking up into wakefulness the powerful lion lying asleep, in order to pluck the hair from off his face!
She was walking beside him, vivid eyes, dark lips almost unaware of him, as if he had become a part of the dream that lived within her. When she was a child she used to see a face in the dark as she was falling asleep. It was crude and misshapen, and leered at her, filling her heart with fear. Later, people had become like that to her.
The counter inside displayed nothing to view but the recumbent head of a boy, peacefully asleep in the unbroken solitude of the place.
Of course, my object in accosting them was religious conversation, and this I usually succeeded in having; but on many occasions, that we might be quite on a footing of equality, I had in return to listen to their yarns. The man on the look-out was a frequent victim. I was always sure to find a man there, generally alone, and never asleep.
We slept on a good spring bed and I awoke next morning in the position I was in when I fell asleep. I was so stiff and sore that it was miserable to have to move. After breakfast we went into Manila and took the railroad for our command. A number of soldiers arrived after we did and reported for duty.
"You poor child!" Deb exclaimed, as a matter of form. "Haven't you done with this kind of thing yet?" "Oh," said Rose, "I should feel lost without one now. And we wanted another boy we have only three, you know. Isn't he a darling?" Number eleven, fast asleep, was fished from his downy bed and laid in his aunt's arms, eagerly extended for him.
