'You don't say so! I said. 'Yes I do, though, and so does Good; don't you, Good? 'Rather, said that gentleman. 'Listen, old fellow, went on Sir Henry, with considerable animation of manner. 'I'm tired of it too, dead-tired of doing nothing more except play the squire in a country that is sick of squires. For a year or more I have been getting as restless as an old elephant who scents danger.
All at once he felt so dead-tired. Why did she begrudge Cilia everything? She told such ripping stories. What was it she had told last night when his parents were out and she had crept to his bedside? About about ? He could not collect his thoughts any more, everything was confused. His head sank on his desk; he fell asleep, with his arms stretched out over his books.
What my contemporary seems to need is a mild cathartic that will move his brain say about a tablespoonful of Theodorus' Anticyrian hellebore. The continental powers will not harm England so long as the old harlot behaves herself, but there's no denying that they are becoming dead-tired of her predacity and impudence.
Sun came out on our starting to burn at Auld's but the wind blew a gale, and we had a splendid burn. Sept. 16 Pouring rain and glad of it, for all of us except Sloot are dead-tired. He says the rain will wash the charred logs and make them easier to handle. Sept. 17 Spent the day hauling the biggest of the partly burned logs to make a fence across the clearing.
We were dead-tired and we were hoping for a good long rest, when in marched a big bunch of reinforcements, and shortly after we received orders to pack up and be ready to move that night. It was raining when we started out, and oh! we did feel rotten to have to go back to that hell-hole again. But the new fellows didn't know what it was like, and we laughed and joked with them.
Already the dead-tired, or possibly the dead-drunk, had cast themselves, as if they had been shot down there, with their faces in the lifeless grass, and lay in greasy heaps and coils where the delicate foot of fashion had pressed the green herbage.
We walked from eight till six o'clock in the morning; but though we were dead-tired, we did not forget to go to The Boy's room and put away his revolver with the proper amount of cartridges in the pouch. Also to set his writing-case on the table. We found the Colonel and reported the death, feeling more like murderers than ever.
Then came the soldiers the cavalry on dead-tired horses, the infantry on jaded mules with a number of prisoners in the midst. The animals were tired enough; but the men! I can hardly describe their condition. Their faces were haggard, their eyes heavy and bloodshot; some were nearly asleep, others had scarcely strength to sit upright. Very little grass had grown under their feet.
Sweyn and his mother supposed him to be cold and dead-tired, and spared all unnecessary questions. And he found himself seated beside the hearth, opposite that dreadful Thing that looked like a beautiful girl; watching her every movement, curdling with horror to see her fondle the child Rol. Sweyn stood near them both, intent upon White Fell also; but how differently!
Beneath her the gay pictures kept changing, the peaceful landscape slid by slowly, in broad stretches. "The sun must be all of gold," thought the baby-bee. Coming to a large garden, which seemed to rest in blossoming clouds of cherry-tree, hawthorn, and lilacs, she let herself down to earth, dead-tired, and dropped in a bed of red tulips, where she held on to one of the big flowers.
