Well; he must try to have a nap, no, the room was too light for that. He could see all the furniture; he could count the pleats in the sun-burst of the tester; he could, perhaps, see to read? He put his hand out for Robinson Crusoe, and after that he possessed his soul in patience until he knew that Mary would allow him to come down-stairs.
"Good boy," said Shif'less Sol, sympathetically, "I hope he'll enjoy his nap." "Hope the same fur me," said Long Jim, "'cause I'm goin' to foller him in less than two minutes." Jim Hart made good his words. Within the prescribed time a snore, not loud nor disagreeable, but gentle and persistent, rose on the night air.
"But leave me now, Bladud," he continued, with a yawn so vast that the regions around the uvula were clearly visible; "I'm frightfully sleepy, and you know you have shortened my nap this afternoon." The prince rose at once. "At all events," he said, "I am to understand, before I go, that Cormac has been seen?" "O yes! Certainly; no doubt about that!" "And is well?" "Quite well."
"What did you and Reff quarrel about, Gus?" asked Pepper. "We quarreled about about Oh, I don't know how I can speak of it! But I suppose I've got to, if I want to remain honest. We quarreled over something I found one day in his private box. I got suspicious of him, and when he was taking a nap I took his key and opened the box. And in the box what do you suppose I found?"
Then I'll make a sort of erection on deck to screen you from the sun, Bill; and if you can only manage to sit beside the tiller and steer for two hours every day, so as to let me get a nap, I'll engage to let you off duty all the rest of the twenty-four hours.
"Unsaddle and eat a small snack. We was just taking a little noonday nap for ourselves." "Beans, jerky gravy, and bread," announced the short man, waiter fashion. "I'll hot up the coffee." With the word he fed little sticks and splinters to a tiny fire, now almost burned out, near the circumference of that shaded circle. "Yes, to all that; thank you," said Pete, slipping off.
He left early, and went from there, almost nightly, to the Theatre Royal, where he occupied, invariably, a back seat of a certain box, and here, if the performances were a little dull, he would often enjoy a comfortable nap. In private life he was cheerful, easily pleased, and unaffected. He was greatly beloved by children and young people.
It isn't too late now to draw back. Do take my advice, and don't risk it. I shan't sleep a wink all night if you go." "Never mind, my boy," replied Alzura, laughing; "you'll have plenty of time afterwards for a nap. Now, Juan, off with your clothes." The other prisoners were sound asleep in their huts; so were the soldiers, with the exception of the two sentries.
Lovel, who was a light sleeper, started up at their entrance, and declared with some show of surprise that he must have been indulging in a nap. "I was reading a German critic on Aeschylus," he said. "Those Germans are clever, but too much given to paradoxes. Ring the bell for tea, Clary.
What would you like to hear?" "Play something sad," said the little Shepherdess, for, like all girls, she wanted to cry when she was happiest. "There," said the Cat, curling herself up for a nap, "I am glad that is settled. She never would have given in if he had not looked at the Flower Girl. These girls are queer creatures," she said, closing her eyes.
