She wondered at her own hastiness. She tried to go about the house, but the excitement of the previous night, added to all she had suffered beside, had given her a headache, blinding and paralyzing, that sent her back to bed. And there she lay in that half-asleep, half-awake mood, which a nervous headache produces. She seemed to be a fly in a web, and the spider was trying to fasten her.
She was waiting but death couldn't wait, so . . . Every thing depends. What she asked him to do, he'll do." "But if she didn't ask?" "That's it. She was sick only seventeen hours sick unto death. If she didn't ask, he may come my way." Again Dicky leaned out of the minaret, and looked down towards the gates of the mosque, where the old gatekeeper lounged half-asleep.
I found myself in a small, low-ceiled room, stone-paved; with a heavy wooden table in the centre, having a rough wooden bench on each side; a couple of three-legged stools against the wall; a pair of clumsy oars and a boat-hook in one corner; a boat's mast and sails in another; a fireplace, with a few smouldering logs, over which was suspended an iron pot, occupied nearly the whole of one side of the room; and, by the side of the hearth, with her back toward me, sat an old dame, leaning forward with her elbows on her knees, gazing, half-asleep, at the almost extinct fire.
Then, as if having just solved it, he gives a sudden start, exclaiming: "Sangre de Crista! that's the explanation of all, the whole affair; murder, abduction, everything." His words, though only muttered, awaken Cypriano, still only half-asleep. "What is it, Gaspar?" questions the youth. "Oh, nothing, senorito; only a mosquito that took a fancy to stick its bill into the bridge of my nose.
To them it signified very little; but as I wished to be with poor Herbert, I was very much vexed at being kept up there doing nothing. At length several seamen did come into the top in a lazy, half-asleep sort of way. I found that they had all been tipsy the previous night, and were even then scarcely sober.
All the weariness that he had ever known came upon him, gathering together for descent, pressing out vitality, leaving him cold and undone. "You are very tired," she whispered. "Perhaps we can rest a little. The three are resting." Then a little later, like a child half-asleep, she added, "I love you." It was her good-night.
They gradually come round us and begin to laugh and even to touch our clothes, but the old monk sends them all away and leads us into the wooden rooms of the monastery that open off the verandah. Several monks here are lying lazily about on mats half-asleep, but in a moment they all surround us, and for the first few minutes we experience rather an eerie sensation.
"Come," said she; but with no cheerful alacrity, rather with an air of gloom. "Was was Mrs. Ocumpaugh very much disturbed by what she saw?" "I fear so. She was half-asleep when I went in, dreaming as it seemed, and pleasantly. It was cruel to disturb her; indeed I had not the heart, so I just laid the folded paper near her hand and waited, but not too near, not within sight of her face.
"Yes," she replied; and, after the humiliating confession, took her seat at the Faro table. I went and threw myself in an easy chair at the fireplace; and if ever a man was astonished it was I, when I saw seated opposite me the Controller-General! M. de Calonne looked stupified and half-asleep.
"But you have a way of being frank so that a poor devil usually thinks you want to marry him, and then there's the devil to pay. You know it perfectly well." "That's not true, Hal!" "I won't argue. But will you do it?" "Absolutely not!" "It might be quite a game. He may not be altogether a fool. And suppose he were to wake up? Suppose he's simply half-asleep?"
