"There never has been, there never will be, a man on this earth," said the Harvester, "wholly free from mistakes. Are you warm now?" He turned to the little lady, cutting off a reply with his question. "Nice and warm and quite sleepy," she said. "What may I bring you for a light lunch before you go to bed?" "Oh, could I have a bite of something?"
He went straight up to his room, feeling rather sleepy, and bent on getting between the sheets as soon as possible. But just as he was putting on his nightgown, a light pattering sound attracted his attention, and he immediately became all ears. "Rain?" he exclaimed. "Why, there wasn't a sign of it an hour ago!" He drew up the blind and looked out.
Bellasys to play propriety. It was her mission to be chaperon in ordinary to her daughter and her daughter's friends, and she went through with it, admirable in her patient self-denial. May they be reckoned to her credit hereafter those long hours, when she sat sleepy, weary, uncomplaining, with an aching head but a stereotyped smile.
During the day and a half we spent there, the hotel omnibus and one other team were the only locomotives, and a lame man and a water-carrier with a patch over his eye the only dwellers in Duluth we saw; while the people from our boat seemed to be the only visitors who woke the echoes in the sleepy place.
"Yes, I was sleepy, pet," said Georges, approaching his face to mine; "but now I am athirst." He put his lips to my ear and whispered softly, "Athirst for a kiss from you, love." This "love" was the beginning of another life. The spouse now appeared, the past was fleeing away, I was entering on the future. At length I had crossed the frontier; I was in a foreign land. Oh!
Grantly was already reading the message that had been written. "It is a different handwriting," she said. "A woman's hand. 'Martha, it is signed. Who is Martha?" Lute was not surprised. "It is my mother," she said simply. "What does she say?" She had not been made sleepy, as Chris had; but the keen edge of her vitality had been blunted, and she was experiencing a sweet and pleasing lassitude.
I have sat up before, and never felt it, you never did, I can see it in your poor little white face; and besides, I am steadier, because I am not so anxious. Now go, Ursula, if you are really fond of me, as you say " "Oh, Phoebe! if you think he is a little better. Oh, how horrible it is to be sleepy, as if you were all body, and had no heart at all!"
The service seemed so great and the honor so high, that he almost wished he could die in the performing of his role. It would be a finer death than his soldier's dreams had dared to picture. At one o'clock Colonel Sapt came out. "Go to bed till six," said he to Bernenstein. "I'm not sleepy." "No, but you will be at eight if you don't sleep now." "Is the queen coming out, Colonel?"
An old man's child, although that old man was as one of the old giants, there was a vein of weakness in him, which showed in the arched eyebrow, the sleepy pale blue eye, the small soft mouth, the lazy voice, the narrow and lofty brain over a shallow brow. His face was not that of a warrior, but of a saint in a painted window; and to his own place he went, and became a saint, in his due time.
'Sing it yourself, if you choose. Pelagia sings quite well enough for me. In an instant the cunning beauty caught at the hint, and poured forth a soft, low, sleepy song: 'Loose the sail, rest the oar, float away down, Fleeting and gliding by tower and town; Life is so short at best! snatch, while thou canst, thy rest, Sleeping by me!
