He drowsily offered a night robe to the marquis. I was on pins and needles; but the marquis was in a mood to be easily deceived, took the man for a mere sleepy-head, and made a joke of the matter.
In her own words, "she could smell the good things that much longer." So now her only answer was: "Sleepy-head," uttered in a severe tone. "I don't care," came the defiant answer, "it's mighty nice to feel sleepy sometimes," and Betty stretched luxuriously. "Oh, dear!" said Grace irritably, "it seems to me life is one long succession of getting ups and going to beds."
"She and Charlotte have never been sleepy-heads." Eddy glanced resentfully at his mother. He was a little jealous in these days. He had never felt himself so distinctly in the background as during these preparations for his sister's wedding. "I am not a sleepy-head, either, Amy," said he. "It is a pity you are not," said she, and everybody laughed.
"Ah! here's my hat," exclaimed M. Wilkie, as soon as Chupin appeared. "Wait and receive your promised reward." And thereupon he rang the bell, crying at the top of his voice: "Henry, you sleepy-head a clean glass and some more of the widow Cliquot's champagne!"
"You er you trumpet beautifully," he stammered, remembering that that was another remark which Chirpy Cricket had suggested as being likely to put the trumpeter into a pleasant frame of mind. At that the rude creature laughed most scornfully. "I'd like to know how you can say that," she sneered. "You're so lazy and such a sleepy-head that you never hear me when I wake the household.
"The el'funts'll want a drink at noon." "I'll go out and see," said Danny and was hurrying off at once, but Mrs. Mullarkey made him wait for breakfast. He bolted the oatmeal and bread and raced out of the house. "I'm glad I'm not a sleepy-head like Danny," said Chris. "So'm I," echoed Jerry. Jerry could hardly wait until time for the parade.
"Mahomet to the mountain? No; he is a sleepy-head, and I shall find him loitering. Good-day, good-day!" With a wave of his hand he left the dancing master still staring and turned Selim's head to the east. He rode quickly, but no longer headlong, and he scanned with deliberation the long stretch of the main road.
He fixed himself up as snugly as he could, with his little nose upon his paws and his little tail curled round all, and before you could count six, eight, ten, twenty, he was fast asleep. Now it happened that Sleepy-head was not the only creature that was caught by the rain that morning in the wood.
Now Sleepy-head couldn't bear rain, and he had got a long way from home. What would mother say if his nice furry coat got wet and draggled? He crept under a bush, but soon the rain found him out. Then he ran to a tree, but this was poor shelter.
After a few moments, Hugh came staggering in, stretching himself and yawning according to custom, and presenting every appearance of having been roused from a sound nap. 'Here, sleepy-head, said Joe, giving him the lantern. 'Carry this, and bring the dog, and that small cudgel of yours. And woe betide the fellow if we come upon him.
