There were voices surely, the voices of their former pursuers! If they were seeking to revenge themselves upon him for Cato's escape, he was ready for them. He cocked his revolver and stood erect. A torch flashed through the wood. But even at that moment a film came over his eyes; he staggered and fell. An interval of helpless semi-consciousness ensued.
He was a glad monarch, now, though the blankets were old and thin, and not quite warm enough; and besides gave out a pungent horsey odour that was almost suffocatingly powerful. Although the King was hungry and chilly, he was also so tired and so drowsy that these latter influences soon began to get the advantage of the former, and he presently dozed off into a state of semi-consciousness.
Her mother muttered and mumbled incoherently for a while, and then said, sharply, "I said I would ruin him, and I've done it!" "Ruin who?" asked Edith, in a repressed voice. This question, instead of eliciting an answer, as Edith had hoped, brought her mother back to semi-consciousness.
When he once more finds words for his emotion, which he can scarcely utter, because he lies on the ground in a state of semi-consciousness, he suddenly becomes the principal person, and the whole scene is grouped round him, just as before it was round Elizabeth. All else is thrown into the background, and in a manner only accompanies him as he sings:
What detains you?" But Bladud did not answer to the call. A stone from the enemy had fallen on his defenceless head and knocked him down insensible. Four of the men now raised him up. As they did so, one of the men the small seaman, Maikar was found underneath him in a state of semi-consciousness. While they carried Bladud aft, the little sailor began to gasp and sneeze.
Vye believed he could scent the lake, that every breeze up slope brought its compelling enticement. Just in case Hume might awake to a state of semi-consciousness and wander off, Vye tethered him with blanket bonds. Vye fingered Hume's knife, which had been painstakingly lashed to a trimmed shaft of wood.
Surely this must be an interval of consciousness, or semi-consciousness. Gilbert went to the bedside, and, seating himself there quietly, looked intently at the altered face, which stared at him without a gleam of recognition. "Speak to me, John Saltram," he said. "You know me, don't you the man who was once your friend, Gilbert Fenton?" The other burst into a wild bitter laugh.
On this appeal, the missionary gave a slight start, half-opened his eyes, and, still in a state of semi-consciousness, between sleep and waking, beheld those two beauteous faces turned towards him, and heard two gentle voices repeat his name. "Who calls me?" said he, rousing himself, and raising his head. "It is Blanche and Rose."
After a half hour of semi-consciousness, Fortuné Trubert's face, hollow-cheeked and worn by disease, lit up again and his hands moved. He lifted his finger and pointed to the only piece of furniture in the room, a little walnut-wood writing-desk.
Sleepily he wondered what it was while patterns spread over his semi-consciousness dreamily he saw Marthe in a filmy lace dress over black and he felt himself trying to play on a grand piano, every note of which was a sea anemone.
