But she was more afraid of appearing a great baby, and so no one in the world ever knew what the imaginative little creature had lived down. In the middle of brushing her hair she ran to the door and locked it, from a sudden dread that she might oversleep herself and some one would come in and see the letter on the writing-desk.
His watchfulness caused him to oversleep the next morning, and he was later than usual in getting through the routine duties of the store. At length, about nine o'clock, dusty and begrimed from mopping, feeding the furnace, etc., he stood with duster and brush in hand before the painting that had so disturbed his rest.
"I don't see how it is that I oversleep myself so often when I am here; I fully intended to get up to breakfast this morning, but missed it. However, you will see me to-morrow morning at the breakfast table, Miss Dexie, if I am alive," he added jokingly, as he waved a good-night to Gussie.
Katherine."Of course I don't do it to annoy father or anybody else. But if I oversleep myself, it is not my fault." Mother."I would go to bed at eight o'clock rather than be late as often as you. How should you like it if I were not down to prayers ?" Katherine, muttering."Of course that is very different. I don't see why I should be blamed for oversleeping any more than James.
I went on towards my lodgings. My head was very full of confused images, but I was really too tired to think. Sometimes I wonder yet whether Mills wished me to oversleep myself or not: that is, whether he really took sufficient interest to care. His uniform kindliness of manner made it impossible for me to tell. And I can hardly remember my own feelings. Did I care?
I could sit here at my bedroom window and look at it all night. But then I should be sure to oversleep myself and be late for breakfast. I shall read what I have written once more, and then I shall go to bed. I think I shall wear my white muslin tomorrow. James Orlebar Cloyster's Narrative I have never won through to the goal I longed for, and now I never shall.
The train soon started, Phil bidding his employer good night, went forward to No. 1 which was the forward sleeper on the train, next to the box and flat cars. He peered into Teddy Tucker's berth, finding that lad sound asleep, after which he tumbled into his own bed. But Phil was restless. He was so afraid that he would oversleep that he slept very little during the night.
"Besides, I've been on the jump too much to allow an ordinary bird the chance. What's the matter with you oversleep?" "No, I did it on purpose. I was tired. But what's that you're reading; and what do you mean about being on the jump?" "Oh, I just took a little run into the village after breakfast, on the motor cycle." "You did! To tell that Spaniard he could, or could not, go with us?"
SMITH: Of course I can. Never thought of that. Heave us Many Cargoes. Thanks. Begins to read. MEPH. grins fiendishly, and vanishes through floor enveloped in red flame. Sobbing heard from the direction of the ceiling. Scene closes. Next morning, of course, he will oversleep himself, and his Thucydides paper will be of such a calibre that that eminent historian will writhe in his grave.
"Now you must go to bed early, so as not to oversleep in the morning; the carriage will be here at daybreak." To go to bed is only too easy, but to fall asleep is difficult when one is still a child, and has received a promise of being taken to the country. We had a beautiful and pleasant country property, not far from town; my brother was as fond as I was of being there.
