Susy sank down on a sofa near the window, fanning herself with a floating scarf, and the men foraged for cigarettes, and rang for the gondoliers, who came in with trays of cooling drinks. "Well, what next this ain't all, is it?" Gillow presently queried, from the divan where he lolled half-asleep with dripping brow.
He was half-asleep when he heard Boca tell Malvey that he was a pig and the son of a pig. Malvey laughed. There came the sound of a scuffle. Pete glanced over his shoulder. Malvey had his arm around the girl and was trying to kiss her. Flores was watching them, grinning in a kind of drunken indifference. Pete hesitated. He was there on sufferance a stranger.
Olga contemplated her for a moment, then went to the bedside. "Violet, do put down that hateful book! How can you read such disgusting things? Violet!" as her remonstrance elicited no response, "do get up and let us pack your things! Dr. Wyndham is downstairs." "What?" Violet looked at her this time, but with a mazed expression as of one half-asleep. "Who? The great Objectionable himself?
The elephant suddenly turned off the path and moved noiselessly through the undergrowth for a few minutes. Then he stopped on the edge of an open glade in the forest. Scattered about in it, sitting or lying down half-asleep, were a number of short, sturdy, brown-faced men with close cropped bare heads.
She had heard much about Considine, but not a word about Keogh, and the name "Margaret Donohoe" did not strike her half-asleep mind as referring to Peggy. She put the paper away again in the camp-oven; then, feeling weary, she awoke Carew and lay down on the couch while he watched the patient.

Their favourite haunts are the deep rugged banks of a river or lake overhung with trees, where they can hide themselves and watch for prey. It is not only in water that they are dangerous.
He expected to hear the morning song of the priests, but all was silent. He knocked and the porter, still half-asleep, opened the door. Nebsecht enquired for the chief of the Temple. "He died in the night," said the man yawning. "What do you say?" cried the physician in sudden terror, "who is dead?" "Our good old chief, Rui." Nebsecht breathed again, and asked for Pentaur.
Can one creep into the soul of another? Another's soul, we know, is a dark place. But, with the thought of God in the heart, things are always better.... No, no!... I'd my family all the time.... Gee... gee-up! little ones, in God's name! It was already almost daylight; we began to drive into Tula. I was lying, dreamy and half-asleep.
It was after nine o'clock at night when they reached town again, footsore and weary, and Archie Dunn had hardly entered the house before he was on the dining-room lounge, half-asleep. His mother seemed to be out, and as he lay there he wondered how long it would be before she came back.
