He did so this morning a little more vigorously than usual, partly because he had sat up too late the night before and thought too much and smoked too much, with the result that he had risen heavy-eyed, at the present disgraceful hour, and partly because he hoped by wearying the flesh to still the restlessness of the spirit.
I was heavy-eyed from want of sleep, while my face had assumed a sickly, revolting pallor from rapidly collapsing health. Again I was summoned to the Commandant's office. My goods were exactly as I had left them thirty minutes before. I was busily strapping up my goods when the door opened to admit the Commandant, guard and four other prisoners, whom I had not seen before.

When he got to table Annette was in her place, still looking a trifle pale and heavy-eyed, but evidently much relieved since he had last seen her. 'I want you to do me a little favour, Paul, she said 'Yes, he answered gaily. 'I want what you call what is your word for it? Oh yes, I know I want what you call a pick-me-up.

"I don't think you'd better, dear," mother replied listlessly.
Carter, heavy-eyed and dull, steered for the yacht's gangway. Lingard asked as they were crossing the brig's bows: "Water enough alongside your craft, I suppose?" "Yes.
