Everything in you rouses my attention, Mr. Chichester. But I can't think why." "Did you know I was Mr. Harding's curate the first time you met me?" "Yes; I had seen you at St. Joseph's once or twice when I came to hear your rector preach. You didn't interest me at all then, I'm bound to say." Chichester stood in silence for a minute.
"But, when once the year has really turned, and the nights are shorter, and half-way through them one rouses and feels fidgety and wanting to be up and doing by sunrise, if not before you know! Both animals nodded gravely. They knew! "Well, then," went on the Badger, "we that is, you and me and our friend the Mole here we'll take Toad seriously in hand. We'll stand no nonsense whatever.
He rouses up now and again, and then he is quite lucid and natural for, perhaps, an hour or so; but presently he becomes drowsy again and doses off, and remains asleep, or half asleep, for hours on end. Do you know of any disease that takes people in that way?" "No," I answered. "The symptoms are not exactly like those of any disease that is known to me.
Neither will they cut it right. It comes on the table in a small, round pewter platter. It lies in the center of this platter, in a bordering bed of grease-soaked potatoes; it is the size, shape, and thickness of a man's hand with the thumb and fingers cut off. It is a little overdone, is rather dry, it tastes pretty insipidly, it rouses no enthusiasm.
"My dear sir," exclaimed the Prefect of Police, "you declare all this with a conviction which rouses my admiration, but which is not enough to establish the fact that your fears are justified. Inspector Vérot's return will be the best proof." "Inspector Vérot will not return." "But why not?" "Because he has returned already. The messenger saw him return." "The messenger was dreaming.
Cannonading rises here, on both sides, in the dim gray of the morning, for the possession of these Heights. The Saxons are out-cannonaded and dislodged, other Saxons start to arms in support: the cry "To arms!" spreads everywhere, rouses Weissenfels to horseback; and by sunrise a furious storm of battle has begun, in this part.
They will think you had a bad fall." This rouses her; she wipes her eyes hastily and looks up. "How shall I explain to them?" she asks, anxiously. "We won't explain at all. Let me take off your skates, and we will walk up and down here until your eyes are all right again. Why, really," stooping to look at them, "they are by no means bad; they will be as good as ever in five minutes."
Brigitte would sadly inquire, "if there are two different men in you, can you not, when the bad rouses himself, forget the good?"

To lose control of one's self, is that not the worst of evils?
In all well-regulated hotels this process begins at two o'clock and keeps up till seven. If the porter is at all faithful, he wakes up everybody in the house; if he is a shirk, he only rouses the wrong people. We treated the pounding of the porter on our door with silent contempt. At the next door he had better luck. Pound, pound. An angry voice, "What do you want?" "Time to take the train, sir."
"I suspected that he bore that relationship to you grandfather there's considerable about your faces that gives the secret away," remarked Cuthbert. "I may look like him in face, but thank Heaven I'm a true Dugdale in my feelings.
