"That being the case," said the Andiron, "I will proceed at once to tell you the story of Ebenezer." The Story of Ebenezer "Ebenezer was a boy very much like yourself in several ways," resumed the Righthandiron. "He wasn't one of the Sleepyhead or Dozy Pate families, but he was next thing to it. He was nephew of Senator Takeanap, and a grandson of old General Snoraloud but he'd never admit it.
"Oughtn't Dawn to be woke up first and told to scoot out of that?" said he. Dawn was one of those young beings so thoroughly inured to easy living that the few hours' sleep she had lost the night before had made her so dozy when she had come to keep me company now, that I had persuaded her to rest beside me on the broad bed, where, much against Andrew's sense of propriety, she was fast asleep.
You try that treatment for a week or two, my fine gentleman, and then see if your fist doesn't ache and shake so that you can't write at all. See if you won't look a trifle dozy. Stupidity of country people be hanged!
I wanted to go and spend the day with the hens, singing over that little dozy ca-a-a-a they do, in the sun, and stretch one leg and one wing till they most broke off, and ruffle up all my feathers and let 'em settle back very slow, and then just set." They had started downstairs before Aunt Hetty had finished this, the little girl holding tightly to the wrinkled old hand.
"Then let's go to Saturn," suggested Tom. "Oh, no!" said Righty. "Not that." "Then there's only one thing left," said Tom, with a sigh, "and that's the long jump whatever that is." Tom's three companions roared with laughter. "Absurd!" cried Righty. "The idea. The long jump the only thing left! Ha, ha, ha!" "Perfect nonsense," laughed Lefty. "I never thought Dozy Pate could be so dull."
London is the breath of life to me, with its clubs and theaters, and suppers, and jolly good fellows, and " "And Flora!" Jimmie supplemented drily. "D n Flora! She threw up the Friv yesterday and slipped off to the Continent with Dozy Molyneaux. I'm done with her, anyway! But what does it all matter? I'm ruined, and I must go under. Give me a drink, old chap a stiff one."
There are dozy moments-except you curl up in a safe place for the PURPOSE of dozing; again just like the dog! Every bush, every hollow, every high tuft of grass, every deep shadow must be scrutinized for danger. It will not do to pass carelessly any possible lurking place. At the same time the sense of hearing must be on guard; so that no break of twig or crash of bough can go unremarked.
"He's such a Sleepyhead he doesn't know his own name," said the Lefthandiron. "That's a curious thing about the Sleepyheads and the Dozy Pates. They very seldom know their own names and even when they do they always deny that they are what they are. Why I really believe if I told Tom here that he was a Dormouse he'd deny it and say he was a boy."
Ain't we, partner?" he added, appealing to Langley, whom punch had made rather dozy. "I should think so," responded the lethargic turnkey, with a yawn. During this colloquy, Jack had contrived unobserved to put on the hood and cloak, and being about the size of the rightful owner, presented a very tolerable resemblance to her.
All qualities that should make a good translator of such a Chronicle as this were joined in Robert Southey. As for the true Cid, let us not ask whether he was ever as M. Dozy, in his excellent Recherches sur l'Histoire Politique et Litteraire de l'Espagne pendant le Moyen Age, says that he could be treacherous and cruel.
