"The same old shebang," he mumbled to himself, as he swayed around in the middle of the floor, "the same old shebang where Aaron Woodward and I parted company four years ago. He's took care of his money, and I've gone to the dogs," and he gave a yawn and sat down on top of a barrel. I was thoroughly surprised at his words.
You collect your belongings, you stretch and yawn, you rub your eyes to rid them of sleep and incidentally you leave great black marks all down your face you struggle to get on your equipment in a filthy second-class carriage where are three other officers struggling to get on their equipment, and waving their arms about like the sails of windmills.
Oh, Jim and his flawless service!" But after we got over our surprise, we saw the situation was serious. The policeman was threatening to awaken. Once he stopped snoring to yawn noisily, and we beat a hasty retreat. Bella switched off the lights in a hurry and locked the door behind us. We hardly breathed until we were back in the kitchen again, and everything quiet.
"There, that's enough for one day a promise of sweets to come!" and she laughed again, with a hearty purr like a cat that has a mouse at its mercy. She rose and carried in the pan of potatoes we had just finished peeling. She wore shoes much too little for her plump feet ... and, when not abroad, let them yawn open unbuttoned.

Kat lifted herself from the floor with a yawn, and strolled lazily out to the door, but came back in a moment, with quicker steps, and less color in her face.
