We used to hope Dave would oversleep, or that his coffee would fail to boil so that we might have a few more moments to sleep. The Indians were always underfoot. The great cold did not keep them away. Men sauntered around, trading, loafing. Women sat on the floor, papooses on their backs, beadwork in hand.
It was nearly dark when Tamaku returned, saying that he had found the wood he required; but as we were tired and sleepy, we preferred lying down to rest instead of waiting till a fire could be kindled and provisions cooked. Although our beds of leaves were tolerably comfortable, and our clothes were dry, we did not oversleep ourselves, but awoke at daybreak the next morning.
'And why will they be hungry, when they are eating their breakfasts quite comfortably? inquired the good woman quietly. 'That is good of you, nursie; but you must not wait upon us strong people! protested Stella. 'That's only for to-day, because you are all just worn-out, and I knew you would oversleep yourselves.
"Why, haven't you forgotten about to-morrow?" "Ach, I'd forgotten. Don't be uneasy. I won't oversleep. At nine o'clock. I know how to wake up when I want to. I go to bed saying 'seven o'clock, and I wake up at seven o'clock, 'ten o'clock, and I wake up at ten o'clock." "You have remarkable powers," said Nikolay Vsyevolodovitch, looking at his pale face. "I'll come and open the gate."
"I am afraid," said Archie, "that some one will get the start of us. Let's get up." "No; lie still and go to sleep," said Frank. "I am afraid we shall oversleep ourselves. I wonder what time it is." "I'll soon find out," said Frank. And, bounding out on to the floor, he lighted a match, and held it up before the little clock that stood on the mantle-piece. "It's twelve o'clock," he continued.
Must n't oversleep in the mornin', if the place is ever so safe." Then I disposed my possum rug and saddle, took off my boots, spread my coat for Pup to sleep on, lit my pipe, and lay down for the night. Thompson, Mosey, and Willoughby arranged themselves here and there, according to taste. Dixon and Methuselah retired to hammocks under the rear of their respective wagons.
The old mother placed various dishes on the back part of the stove. At ten o'clock he came downstairs. His mother was sweeping busily in the parlour at the time, but she saw him and ran to the back part of the stove. She slid the various dishes on to the table. "Did you oversleep?" she asked. "Yes. I don't feel very well this morning," he said.
I know we're not very tired, but if we sit around in suspense we'll be as nervous as cats when the time comes. I suggest we take a couple of sleeping tablets and turn in. If we use a mild shock to awaken us, we won't oversleep." The others agreed to the plan and prepared for their wait. Awakened two hours before the actual moment of action, Wade prepared breakfast, and Morey took observations.
Dear Eric, I do hope you're not in any kind of trouble! When you become telegraphic in manner, I always grow nervous. Barbara." There was suppressed excitement at the Mill-House on Saturday night, when he put in a claim for the car, announced his intention of driving himself and instructed the maids with unusual particularity to see that he did not oversleep himself.
That night he camped sixty miles from Ticonderoga, but he was resolved to cover the distance in one day. Had he not promised to be back in a week? The older hands had shaken their heads incredulously, and he, in the pride of his legs, was determined to be as good as his promise. He scarcely dared sleep lest he should oversleep. At ten he lay down.
