The editor smiled encouragingly and waited. Mr. Aram crossed one leg over the other and folded his hands in his lap. He exhibited no interest, and looked drowsily at the editor. When he spoke it was in a tone of unstudied indifference. "I never wrote a poem called 'Bohemia," he said, slowly; "at least, if I did I don't remember it."
That's three times." "My word! There's Mrs. Medlock's bell," said Martha, and she almost ran out of the room. "It's the strangest house any one ever lived in," said Mary drowsily, as she dropped her head on the cushioned seat of the armchair near her. Fresh air, and digging, and skipping-rope had made her feel so comfortably tired that she fell asleep.
"Cibber Cibber who be Cibber?" queries the Prince, a beery look in his eye, a foreign accent on his tongue. "He's the son of the sculptor, Caius Gabriel Cibber, your Highness." "I do not know I do not know," mutters George drowsily.
Now and again a cluster of fire- flies broke from some thicket of shade and danced drowsily by in sparkling tangles of gold and green; here and there from great open squares and branch-shadowed gardens gleamed the stone face of an obelisk, or the white column of a fountain; while over all things streamed the long prismatic rays flung forth from the revolving lights in the Twelve Towers of the Sacred Temple, like flaming spears ranged lengthwise against the limitless depth of the midnight horizon.
Bruce whispered in the dialect. "Ahmed." Ahmed. Who was Ahmed? Bruce shook Ramabai. "Ahmed is here. Who is he?" he asked softly. "Ahmed?" drowsily. Then, wide awake enough: "Ahmed? He was Hare Sahib's head animal man. Where is he?" "Hush! Not so loud. Come up, Ahmed; I am Bruce. Let us speak in English." "Good!" Ahmed came into the chamber. "To see Bruce Sahib is good.
Dixie Hart turned her head drowsily on her pillow and opened her eyes and closed them again. "Oh, I could sleep, sleep, sleep till doomsday," she said to herself. "I wish I didn't have to get up. I'd like to take one day off. I could lie here flat on my back till night. But, old girl, you've got to be up an' doing."
She stirred once and murmured drowsily, "You came back to me." And in her sleep she passed away so gradually that none could say when mortal life had ended and the life eternal had begun. In the spring of the following year, Clifford and Elaine were on their wedding journey to Italy. He had rented a sea-coast villa on the Ligurian Riviera, and they were travelling to there from Paris.
It was enough thought for him to listen to the whispered stories of the sisters in the long evenings, and, half-heard, try and make an end to them; to look drowsily down into the garden, where the afternoon sunshine was still so summer-like that a few hollyhocks persisted in showing their honest red faces along the walls, and the very leaves that filled the paths would not wither, but kept up a wholesome ruddy brown.
Kim came up from those deep wells, and the lama attended his yawning pleasure; duly snapping fingers to head off evil spirits. 'I have slept a hundred years. Where ? Holy One, hast thou been here long? I went out to look for thee, but' he laughed drowsily 'I slept by the way. I am all well now. Hast thou eaten? Let us go to the house. It is many days since I tended thee.
Otherwise, things were drowsily dull. In a dugout sprawled Top-Sergeant Mahan, formerly of Uncle Sam's regular army, playing an uninspiring game of poker with Sergeant Dale of his company and Sergeant Vivier of the French infantry. The Frenchman was slow in learning poker's mysteries.
