And sure you made us laugh 'artily, Meester Pepper, when you said, says you, 'That 'ere voman is a rum blo" en. So she vas, Meester Pepper!"
We lay down and napped until the good dinner, which had been started when we had first been seen upon the road, and some time before we reached the village, was ready.
The field-cornet went out once again to observe the wind; and then the door of the little kraal was closed, and the family retired to rest. The field-cornet slept but little. Anxiety kept him awake. He turned and tossed, and thought of the locusts. He napped at intervals, and dreamt about locusts, and crickets, and grasshoppers, and all manner of great long-legged, goggle-eyed insects.
Donaldson watched every movement of his strong arms and felt sorry, when, his part played, he retired to the wings. Then he went to his room. He partly undressed and threw himself upon the bed. It was then ten minutes of four on Sunday morning, May twenty-sixth. In spite of his apparent wakefulness he napped, for when he came to himself again it was broad daylight.
There the girl, her head pillowed on the treasure bag, napped uneasily, while Kirkwood plodded restlessly to and fro, up and down the platform, communing with the Shade of Care and addling his poor, weary wits with the problem of the future, not so much his own as the future of the unhappy child for whose welfare he had assumed responsibility.
My friend and I while our licensed proprietors napped with one eye open smiled to each other perhaps, recognizing how the prick of personal injury and injustice will arouse far-reaching rebellion against human wrongs and imperfections in general.

They fell upon the latter at the tent-shaped cave in Yonkers, it is called Washington's Cave, because the general napped there on bivouac, and not only routed them, but secured so much of their treasure that they were able to be honest for several years after.
I got up at five o'clock this morning to finish it, and I must confess I am proud of it." She napped her tail, which was a truly astonishing one, made of newspapers neatly plaited and sewed together, and wriggled her body, clad in well-fitting scales of silver paper. "Quite a fish, I flatter myself?" she said, insinuatingly.
It wasn't easy; drowsiness buzzed in his brain and weighted his eyelids; now and again, involuntarily, he nodded over his glass of black coffee. And when evening came and the mont-de-piete closed for the night, he rose and stumbled off, wondering if possibly he had napped a little without his knowledge and so missed her visit.
Sandy Stewart "napped" stones on the road in his shirt sleeves, wet or fair, summer and winter, till he was persuaded to retire from active duty at eighty-five, and he spent ten years more in regretting his hastiness and criticising his successor.
