If you look at the faces of a half-hundred men engaged upon any labour, you will observe that the tiredest faces belong to those of the structurally inert the ones who have to surmount themselves as well as their tasks, and who cannot forget themselves in their activity. In many of the modern mills, they called it a fine thing when the labour hours were shortened from ten to eight.
She was afraid of that man, but she liked him because he looked so gentle and so there was something else he looked which as yet she could not put a name to, but which her ancestry remembered dimly. There was a short, fair, pale-faced man, who looked like the tiredest man in the world. He was often preoccupied, but not in the singular way the others were.
Behind him came two more, with somebody between them, and another soldier brought up the rear. The soldiers carried their rifles and full equipment, and marched by in front of the huts. We pressed forward, full of curiosity, and there beheld the tiredest, dustiest, most woe-begone figure of a man, whose clothes were in rags, and whose boots were so full of holes they seemed ready to drop off him.
And here's a place big enough to lay down and rest a spell right handy to the kitchen, where a-body gits tiredest, without runnin' a half mile to find a bed, and in the mornin' you can look down to the 'still waters'; and in the afternoon, when the sun gits around here, you can pull that blind and 'lift your eyes to the hills, like David of the Bible says. My, didn't he say the purtiest things!
I want to bustle round in heaven the same as here. And I hope there'll be a celestial substitute for pies and doughnuts something that has to be MADE. Of course, one does get awful tired at times and the older you are the tireder you get. But the very tiredest could get rested in something short of eternity, you'd think except, perhaps, a lazy man."
The big car weathered it without breaking a spring, and before the tiredest laborer of San Diego had yawned and declared it was bedtime, they chuckled sedately into San Diego and stopped on a side street where a dingy garage stood open to the greasy sidewalk. Cliff turned in there and whistled. A lean figure in grease-blackened coveralls came out of the shadows, and Cliff climbed down.
"You go and see her for yourself; and if you don't say she is the worst beat out and the tiredest mortal that ye have ever seen you'll be surprisin' me. My God, Linda, they ain't nothin' in bein' rich if it can do to a girl what has been done to Eileen!" "Oh, well," said Linda impatiently, "don't condemn all money because Eileen has not found happiness with it.
But at last, when the playwright had ridiculed and denounced what he called the oldest and tiredest convention in the world for long enough, the play seemed to turn on a pivot, and the pivot was the cradle. The playwright gave the playgoers the happy ending for which the world craves and sent them home relieved. He sent Marie Kerr home relieved, too; but the day had not changed her mind.
I'd rather let you see something else though all my stuff is bad." "You wouldn't do any little thing, would you, to brighten this tiredest hour in the day of a tired business man," complained Dick. "I've really been a business man to-day, Captain. Worked like the devil or an angel whichever works the harder." He lit a cigarette and settled with a sigh on the corner of Larry's desk.
If I loved it why should I have fixed my abode once and for all over here? And yet when I saw it coming toward me across the room, with your eyes and smile and look of Home, I felt like the tiredest traveler and exile in the whole world, who wants nothing, nothing, but to get Home again. It was like a moment's insanity.
