Won't you let me wake her?" "Thanks. Better let her alone till tomorrow," replied Pan briefly. Presently there came the call to supper, which had been laid upon a new tarpaulin spread on the ground. The men flopped down, and sat cross-legged, each with silent or vociferous appreciation of that generous repast. "Shades of the grub line!" ejaculated Blinky. "Am I ridin' or dreamin'?"
I had just concluded to hand over the dish-washin' right at the start, when he fished up a pipe out of a case, filled it, an' begun to puff like a grown-up, an' then I savvied that dish-washin' wasn't one of his hobbies. "Any sport here?" sez he. "If you're good at dreamin," sez I, "you can have the time of your life huntin' Chinamen.
You know I'm always dreamin' and dreamin' about pretty dancing!" and she looked eagerly at Tom to see what he would say. "It must be goin' on somewhere in Boston," she went on with pleading eyes. "Could you ask somebody? They said at uncle Ezra's that if cousin Abby Snow wanted me to remain until to-morrow it might be just as well to stay; she used to be so well acquainted with mother.
The missus, bless 'er 'art, sewed a bit o' blue on my night-shirt in fun, but d'ee know, sir, I do believe it's that 'as cured me o' dreamin' about it, as I used to do." "I'm glad to hear that, Butts," said Tom, with a laugh. "Now, tell me; how long is it since you tasted strong drink?" "Six months this very day, sir."

An' love's wings hover o 'er the little lambs an' the bullfrogs in the pond an' the dicky birds in the trees. What sweetness to lie in the grass, the lap of bounteous earth, eatin' apples in the Garden of Eden, an' chasin' away the snakes an' dreamin' of Thee, Sweet-h-e-a-r-t "

Sometimes Dan sits with him and tells him what he's been doin' maybe it ain't any more than how the sky looks that day, or about the feel of the wind but Joe sits with his eyes dreamin', like a little kid hearin' fairy stories. Kate says it's been that way since her dad first brought Dan in off'n the range. He's been sort of necessary to old Joe almost like air to breathe.

Billy's blue eyes glowed a caress, cloudy and warm; as he said quietly: "I've ben thinkin' about that."
Dexter feel sad, 'cause they're so nice an' good to us. Another thing s'posin' you shaved your head an' all of a sudden Mother came. How would you feel then, mister?" "I reckon I'd feel pretty bald headed," said Peter. "But Mother ain't ever comin', Polly. What makes you say that?" "I keep on a dreamin' 'bout her," answered Polly, wiping away a little tear that gathered in the corner of her eye.
"He's got Smythe frightened of him now, an' beginnin' to hate him like fury, besides. That's M'Gregor's lay. By-'n'-by, Smythe'll be dreamin' about him all night, an' wishin' he was game to poison him all day; an' when he feels enough haunted, M'Gregor'll make him an offer, an' he'll sell-out like a bird."
