Bright sun flashes dancing over the hills awoke the drowsy sacristan. The hallowed "Bells of Carmel" called the faithful to mass. Monterey, in reverse order of its social grades, rose yawning from the feast. Fandangos and bailes of the day of victory tired all. Lazy "mozos" lolled about the streets. A few revellers idly compared notes of the day's doings.
Brother, I do not know what the plastramengro thought of himself, but I know, brother, what I should have thought of myself in his situation. I should have thought, brother, that I was a drowsy scoppelo, and that I had let the fellow pass by whilst I was sleeping behind a bush.
I was afraid you were going to tumble out." She laughed. "The heat makes one drowsy. I shall get used to it." He was pulling in the horses. "There's some shade round the corner. We'll rest for an hour or two." "I shall like that," said Sylvia. A group of small larch-trees grew among the stones at the top of the slope, and by these he stopped.
A sudden stir sounded under the divan, and a dog presently crept out to the fire, stretching lengthily and yawning widely as he went. He bestowed himself in an upright posture by the coals and looked down with drowsy gravity at the glow. His pendant ears, his long, pointed muzzle, his upright, rotund body, and his pose of solemn pondering made a queer shadow on the wall.
So we went ashore and had no adventures at all, but sat in a balcony and listened to pretty good music, and noted the few drowsy figures in the side streets, the glow of lamp or brazier on their heavy draperies, contrasting with the starlight and the deep velvety shadows moth-like colouring, and intense repose, after the glittering, howling day.
The moonlight scarcely fretted the soft expanse of Chincoteague Bay. There seemed a slender hand of silver reaching down from the sky to tremble on the long chords of the water, lying there in light and shade, like a harp. The drowsy dash of the low surf on the bar beyond the inlet was harsh to this still and shallow haven for wreckers and oystermen.
And all for what? To occupy an inch of dusty shelf to have the titles of their works read now and then in a future age by some drowsy churchman or casual straggler like myself, and in another age to be lost even to remembrance. Such is the amount of this boasted immortality.
Her eyes were closed, but she was smiling; he walked to the bed to make certain that she was not trying any of her tricks on him. "Barbara!" "Yes, darling?" She opened her eyes, and their drowsy contentment faded away. "I only came to see if you were asleep." "I'm not now," she answered wistfully. "Well, why don't you get some decent sleep?
"Not even when they were loved in life?" said the Empress, caressing the bird in the cage with one jewelled finger, but attentively observing her son from the corner of her august eye. "They were; they are not," he remarked sententiously and stifling a yawn; it was a drowsy afternoon. "But who is it that has abandoned us? Surely not the Lady Ma your Majesty's faithful foster-mother?"
And now that I am forced to quit the ship, and have not cast aside the tiller, but have had it wrenched out of my hands, my only wish is to watch their shipwreck from the shore: I desire, in the words of your favourite Sophocles, "And safe beneath the roof To hear with drowsy ear the plash of rain." As to the wall, see to what is necessary.
