Therefore when the groggy old concern, which had seen better days early Georgian days, probably pulled up at Strides Cottage in the afternoon, with a black pall of cloud, whose white heralds were already coming thick and fast ahead of it, hanging over Chorlton Down, two at least of the travellers who alighted from it had misgivings that if their visit was a prolonged one, its grogginess and antiquity might stand in its way on a thick-snowed track in the dark, and might end in their being late for the down-train at six.
The word ragamuffin," he adds, with characteristic determination to be exact, "does not accurately express the man, because there is a sort of shadow or delusion of respectability about him, and a sobriety, too, and a kind of dignity in his groggy and red-nosed destitution."
"Seems to me as if they've all gone mad," remarked Groggy Fox, with a sarcastic grin. "I would say they was all drunk, or half-seas over," observed the mate, "if it was a coper, but in a Gospel ship that's impossible, 'cause they're teetotal, you know. Isn't that the boat o' the Admiral that's pullin' alongside just now, skipper?" "Looks like it, mate.
"He is an old army pensioner. A weird bird, as shrewd as the dickens, in spite of his age a pretty powerful old fellow." "Oh, he's old," she said with some relief. "He's old, and in some ways, incapacitated. He hasn't the use of his right arm, and he's a bit groggy in one of his ankles as the result of a Boer bullet." She laughed in spite of herself.

He and his comrades were still out among the breakers, clinging fondly to the old wreck. The boys saw at a glance that no assistance was to be expected from these men.
Fumbling at his waistband, Saxon's hand had come in contact with a brightly inflamed surface larger than a soup plate. "That's from the kidney blows," Billy explained. "He was a regular devil at it. 'Most every clench, like clock work, down he'd chop one on me. It got so sore I was wincin'... until I got groggy an' didn't know much of anything.
In the stern Fred Martin sought to clear away the doubts and difficulties of Ned Bryce. Elsewhere the two clergymen were answering questions, and guiding several earnest souls to a knowledge of the truth, while down in the cabin Jim Freeman prevailed on several men and boys to sign the temperance pledge. Among these last was Groggy Fox, who, irresolute of purpose, was still holding back.
After she took the asprin she got some relief. She had Hispanic Betty get Nathaniel ready for summer school and then she sent him off in a taxi herself. When both were gone she ate a little something. When she recovered more of her strength her mind was still very groggy and painting was far removed from the agenda of the day.
As they bade the Dutchman good night they observed that he was looking "black as thunder" at the horizon. "W-wat's wrong, ol' b-boy?" asked Groggy. The Dutchman pointed to the horizon. "No use for me to shtop here, mit dat alongside!" he replied.
You know it isn't only that I think he won't care for staying on here, but I think it's a bit of a risk. I don't want to frighten you, but after a man's had black water fever twice, he's apt to be a little groggy, especially about the lungs.
