He awoke Robert and Willet, and they stood up sleepily. "Did you have a good rest, Tayoga?" Robert asked. "I did not sleep," the Onondaga replied. "Didn't sleep? Why not, Tayoga?" "In the night, Tandakora and two more came." "What? Do you mean it, Tayoga?" "They were coming, seeking to slay us as we slept, but I heard them.
Even then I could not tear myself away from the enclosure; I listened to the strange, drowsy note of the male bird, the fainter responses of the female, the thin plaints of the chicks, huddling under her breast; I heard their flipper-like, embryotic wings beating sleepily as the birds stretched and yawned their beaks and clacked them, preparing for slumber.
They gathered sleepily about me, while I told of the scout, and the Sergeant said that my individual ride was "game enough, but nothin' but darn nonsense." Then they fed my horse with a trifle of oats, and after awhile I climbed, stiff and bruised, to the saddle again, and bade them good night.
Water was given the team also, before the journey was resumed; while during the brief halt the girl was left to do as she pleased. Then they moved on again, surrounded by the same drear landscape, the very depression of it keeping them silent. Sikes nodded sleepily, his head against a wagon bow. Once Moore roused up, pointing into the distance with one hand.
He began a tirade in the famous muscular Rantoul style, overturning creeds and castes, reorganizing republics and empires, while Herkimer, grumbling to himself, began to scold the model, who sleepily received the brunt of his ill humor.
"Um-m," said her father sleepily, "what is it? "Did you forget the nest," asked the little girl, "it's light now." "To be sure," replied her father, who by now was wide awake; "put on your slippers and come over by my bed and look." Mary Jane reached down from her bed, picked up her dainty slippers and put them on; then she threw back the covers and hurried over to her father's bed.
"I must say I'm surprised," he admitted, "to see the numbers of men, the signs of activity, and all the rest of it in a camp so young. And by the way, it seems young Kent is away." "Yes," said the gambler, settling deeply into his chair and sleepily observing his visitor. "I sent him away last week." Bostwick was eager. "On something good for the for our little group?"
As the light flooded the garage Heinrich's angora cat rose sleepily from the tonneau of the automobile and stretched himself. A cloth covering over the parrot's cage kept that garrulous bird quiet. Percy lay stretched out in the water which filled his tub. "The dog must be out with Heinrich," said Bob. He seated himself in the driver's seat of the car, and Hugh lifted the drowsy cat to the floor.
And when he finally reached and climbed the wall into the pike, it was at a point directly opposite the forking of the rough wood road which led off to the Pine Knob settlement. As he leaped over into the highway, a man carrying a squirrel gun stepped from behind a tree. "I was allowin' you'd done forgot," said the man, yawning sleepily. "I never forget," was the short rejoinder.
"If you're planning to write up the harbor," she said sleepily late one night, "you ought to cruise around a bit in Eleanore Dillon's motor boat." I looked at her in astonishment. "Does that girl run a motor boat?" "Her father's." Sue yawned and gave me a curious smile. "I'll see if I can't arrange it," she said. And about a week later she told me, "Eleanore's coming to take us out to-night."
