And it's right, no doubt, that her brother should still be abed oh, it's right that he should get the privilege seeing he's the eldest!" Mrs. Gourlay was what the Scotch call "browdened on her boy." In spite of her slack grasp on life perhaps, because of it she clung with a tenacious fondness to him.
"Well, so long as the escort is not forced upon you, I hope you will not despise it. I am going with you because, as it's after taps, you may need help in rousing the steward. He was up all last night, I'm told, with Fritz, and may be abed now." And so her protests, not her scruples, were silenced.
Lay pretty while with some discontent abed, even to the having bad words with my wife, and blows too, about the ill-serving up of our victuals yesterday; but all ended in love, and so I rose and to my office busy all the morning.
Greatly taken aback, I stood with my ear to the door, listening intently. Yes, she has reached the top of the stairs and is stopping no, she passes the nursery door, she is coming my way. What shall I say to her, how account for my comfortable wrapper and the fact that I have not yet been abed? Had I but locked my door!
Perkins have but now exchanged congratulations on the children being abed, and they still linger on a door-step over a few parting words. Mr. Krook and his lodger, and the fact of Mr. Krook's being "continually in liquor," and the testamentary prospects of the young man are, as usual, the staple of their conversation.
Into his life, so he assured himself, had come a serious interest such as that which the Dean had hoped for him. Here, lying abed with fresh morning smiling in through the open window, for the first time he looked forward, following the face he had pursued through his dreams, into the future. Its chambers he found ghastly barren. He visualised it as a vast unfurnished house.
He was abed, and had his head propped high on pillows; his face was wasted and colorless, his deep-sunken eyes were shut; his hand, lying on his breast, was talon-like, it was so bony and long-fingered. The widow began her introduction of me.
"My! but I'm glad we're not over on those flats now," said Agnes. It was almost one o'clock when they struggled through the last drift and reached the back door of the old Corner House. Uncle Rufus, his feet on the stove-hearth, was sleeping in his old armchair, waiting up for them. "Oh, Uncle Rufus! you ought to be abed," cried Ruth. "You've lost your beauty sleep, Uncle Rufus," added Agnes.
"My master has a right to know his crime before he goes to prison," said the negro. "Yes, but the magistrate's abed." The negro stuck to his position, however, and the people who had come up declared with one consent that he was in the right. The head-constable gave in, and said he would take me to a house in the city. "Then drive to that city," said I, "and have done with it."
Man likes to lie abed late there he gets up once or twice in the night to perform some religious office, and gets up finally for the day at two in the morning. Man likes light work or none at all there he labors all day in the field, or in the blacksmith shop or the other shops devoted to the mechanical trades, such as shoemaking, saddlery, carpentry, and so on.
