"O grandpa! you do snore so loud when you take naps!" "What makes you turn out your feet so, when you walk?" and such things.
We solicited over seventy dollars for a poor woman by the name of Jackson, from Marseilles, Kentucky, who had bought herself by washing and ironing of nights, after her mistress's work was done. During seven long years she did not allow herself to undress except to change. Her sleep was little naps over her ironing board. Seven years of night work brought the money that procured her freedom.
What would you do if I were to whisk you off and never bring you back, eh?" "You don't look like a kidnapper, sir," said Betty, respectfully. "A what?" inquired the little gentleman. "A kidnapper," repeated Betty. "What's that?" questioned her companion. "Oh, a person who steals little children. Don't you know?" "But why kidnapper?" insisted the little old man. "I suppose because he naps kids.
Brooke's family it was decidedly a dull day, a day which must be respectably observed, and therefore not available for ordinary purposes, but a day to be got through as easily as possible, shortened at both ends by late rising and unusually early retiring, as well as by naps indulged in during the day, when even the so-called Sunday reading proved somnolent in its tendency.
"Oh, it's too hot for tag, and, besides, you always squeal so when you're caught that it would wake everybody up. Don't you want a tiny bit of a nap?" Either because of the force of example, or because the languor of the summer day was too much even for her energy, Peggy herself was frankly sleepy. "But I can have naps to my house."
We take imaginary naps in their quiet rooms, envying the serenity of an existence unvexed by telegrams, telephones, clubs, lectures, committee-meetings, suffrage demonstrations, and societies for harrying our neighbours. How sweet and still those spacious rooms must have been!
From where we lay beside the corn-field, we could see, through the twinkling leaves and the twinkling atmosphere, the great hills across the lake, taking their afternoon naps, with their clouds drawn like handkerchiefs over their heads. It was very hot, and the red and purple ooze of the unwholesome river below "burnt like a witch's oils."
By and by Tom himself started spasmodically, and I accused him of having slept; but he denied it in a most positive whisper. Suddenly, in an interval between two naps, I heard a sound different from the soughing of the wind, a sound like claws or toenails scratching on the snow crust. It came from the direction of the knoll, or beyond it. "Tom, Tom, he's coming!" I whispered.
He spent a good deal of his time away from home, looking for seeds and grain. On the other hand, he spent a good deal of his time in his house; for Master Meadow Mouse liked to take naps especially in the daytime.
But the annoyance did not prevent him from dozing as he smoked, and, finally, from dropping off soundly to sleep. He enjoyed these after-dinner naps, and the place was conducive to them. The long stretch of highway leading up from Benton had scarcely a country wagon-wheel turning on it, to stir the dust to motion. In the distance, the mill droned like a big beehive.
