He wraps himself in blankets warm And sleeps in bed till late, Determined thus to overcome His miserable fate. And if his eyes are rather red, His cold must just excuse it: Offer him pie; you may be sure He never will refuse it. Father had been away in the country for three or four days.
Le Mire took a fancy to some Indian blankets, and Harry bought them for her; but when she expressed an intention to take an Indian girl about sixteen or seventeen years old aboard the yacht as a "companion," I interposed a firm negative. And, after all, she nearly had her way. For a month it was "just one port after another."
Don't hesitate to use it if anything happens the noise will let me know, and there's no danger of hitting anyone with it unless you are a better shot than I am." "But where are you going?" Brennan jerked his head towards the door. "You see me off the premises and then tell the girl to fetch those blankets away again.
After that, keep your eyes open and rest assured that as soon as you let off the barker I've given you, I shall not be far off. If there is any arrangement such as I have suggested, my going now will put them off their guard and our gentleman will get the signal to make his call as expected. Bringing in those blankets has given the game away to me it shows just what is in the wind."
"Now morn, her rosy steps in th' eastern clime, Advancing, sow'd the earth with orient pearl "It makes me think of a sunrise from Rocky Point. Often Little-Dad takes me up there and we sleep all night rolled in blankets." "I wish I could do things like that," sighed Gyp longingly.

Across the window of the room two blankets had been hung. The door into the other front room was open. Then suddenly the doorway was no longer a black void. A man stood there a fat man with a stomach that hung out over the waistband of his trousers. There was something very familiar about the figure of that fat man. The fat man leaned against the doorjamb and pushed back his wide black hat.
There were some suffering from consumption, one from diabetes, one from fever, one from dysentery, and several others from less dangerous but sufficiently serious complaints. All alike were compelled to sleep upon the floor, with two thin blankets for protection. They were locked in at 6 p.m., and allowed out at 6 a.m.
Randall first warned the other boys and girls about going too near the hole, then he stuck one of the planks up near it, with a piece of rag on it as a danger signal. Beside the warm fire in the lumber office Tommy was undressed and wrapped in warm blankets. One of the men made some hot cocoa, and when Tommy drank this he felt much better.
Adjoining the hotel was a bazaar, in front of which sat squatted upon the ground two rows of Mojave Indians, mostly squaws, with their curious wares spread out for sale upon blankets. There must have been a score of them, and they exhibited odd pottery ornaments of indistinguishable shapes, strings of glass beads and beadwork bags, and a few really fine jardinieres and baskets.
