He arose blinking at his mistress's behest, and but for her brisk urging he would have turned over again and slept. But Juliet was insistent. "I'm going down to the shore, you old sleepy-head," she told him. "Don't you want to come?" She herself had scarcely slept throughout the brief night, and a great yearning for the sunshine and the sea was upon her.
"See the nets?" asks one of the ship's officers, coming to a halt beside us and pointing to a line of corks on the surface of the water; "we've got to keep clear of them, and that's no job for a sleepy-head, I can tell you." He goes on to explain that the nets are sixty feet long and weighted with lead on the low side in the usual fashion.
It's past two," I heard some one say; but not quite certain whether I was dreaming, or really awake. "Hollo! sleepy-head!" another voice shouted, and a strong arm shook me. "Eh? what is it?" I asked, rubbing my eyes, entirely bewildered as to the cause of such rough usage. "Come! look alive, if you're coming. The sun's up, and we must be off," the last speaker continued.
And almost immediately, as she thought with indignation, she was waked by Peggy, who stood over her, holding fast to her shoulder and shaking her vigorously at intervals, as she cried: "Oh, you sleepy-head! Aren't you ever going to get up?" "Don't, Peggy!" Ruth's tone did not reflect the cheeriness of Peggy's greeting. She jerked away with a feeling of aggrieved resentment.
"Poor old sleepy-head!" "For the love o' Mike, Kiddo me for the hay. Won't them mountains wait till morning?" "All right!" she answered cheerily. "I'll pull you out at sunrise. The sunrise from our window will be glorious." He rose and stretched his body like a young, well fed tiger. "I think it's prettier from the bed. But have it your own way have it your own way.
Below the mouth of the Marias River, twenty minutes later, we grounded on Archer's Bar and shut down. After dragging her off the gravel, we discovered that the engine wished to sleep. No amount of cranking could arouse it. Now and then it would say "squash," feebly rolling its wheel a revolution or two like a sleepy-head brushing off a fly with a languid hand.
I haven't a rap, and am in debt besides. I was going to ask you if you couldn't lend me a franc. You have money, I know." "Oh yes, you sleepy-head! It's very likely I have money for you, when I'm in such need of it myself! Go ask Dietrich; he has his pockets full, and a big heap besides. But don't be such a fool as to ask him for just one mean little franc; ask for five.
At length the watch was told off, the lariats were shortened, the picket-pins driven home, and my comrades, rolling themselves up in their blankets, rested their heads in the hollow of their saddles, and went to sleep. There was a man named Hibbets in our party, who, from his habits of somnolency, had earned the sobriquet of "Sleepy-head."
Then came the last day of the term when Uncle Dick, as invited guest, came with Mrs. Shelton to see the pretty Garden of Verses which Miss Ainslee had arranged for the closing entertainment. Even Polly took part in that and repeated the lines: "A birdie with a yellow bill Hopped upon the window sill, Cocked his shining eye and said. 'Ain't you 'shamed, you sleepy-head!"
Lenore dispelled her dreamy state, and, hurriedly dressing, she went down to breakfast. Her father and Rose were still at the table. "Hello, big eyes!" was his greeting. And Rose, not to be outdone, chirped, "Hello, old sleepy-head!" Lenore's reply lacked her usual spontaneity. And she felt, if she did not explain, the wideness of her eyes. Her father did not look as if anything worried him.
