He felt aroused, nervous, miserably anxious. At length he tried to dismiss the subject from his mind; he woke up his drowsing grate fire, punching it with the poker, talking to it, saying, "Wake up there, you!" When he was undressed, he sat down before it in his bathrobe, absorbing its heat luxuriously, musing into the coals, scratching himself as was his custom.
The light and the complexion of things had to my eyes not a little of that mollified depth last loved by them rather further on. It was simply perhaps that the weather was hot and the mountains drowsing in that iridescent haze that I have seen nearer home than at Chambery.
Here and there along the right of way a right no human being would care to dispute were the way ten times its width some drowsing lizards, sprawling in the sunshine along the ties, roused at the sound and tremor of the coming train to squirm off into the sage-brush, but no sign of animation had been seen since the crossing of the big divide near Promontory.
That thought drove me as with a whip out into the garden, for as black an hour as I have ever lived through the sort of hour that leaves a scar upon the soul.

With the last words barely whispered the low voice died away. The Indian lad came forth into the light again, empty-handed; plucked at Lola's gown, pointed to Natzie, for the moment forgotten, now urgently beckoning.

The teller was visible in the cage, where now he appeared very busy though he had undoubtedly been drowsing when they entered. "So you've bought the Stevenson ranch," Menocal said. "Yes. I've just had the deed recorded." "The mortgage is due in a few days; I told him it wouldn't be renewed by me."
William Wagstaff will be at home to their friends on and after June the twentieth." He swung up into his saddle, and they jogged across the open. In the edge of the first timber they pulled up and looked backward at the cabin drowsing silently under its sentinel tree. Roaring Bill reached out one arm and laid it across Hazel's shoulders.
