Negroes are naturally sleepy-headed they like to sit up late at night, in winter, over a large fire, nodding and bumping their heads against each other, or in summer, out of doors; but they take many a nap before they can get courage to undress and go regularly to bed.
I kissed my baby's little downy head and went to sleep. It seems that cowboys are rather sleepy-headed in the morning and it is a part of the cook's job to get them up. The next I knew, Herman had a tin pan on which he was beating a vigorous tattoo, all the time hollering, "We haf cackle-berries und antelope steak for breakfast."
Wilder's elbow was the empty chair where Constance should have been she who had insisted on six as a proper breakfast hour, and had grudgingly consented to postpone it till half-past out of deference to her sleepy-headed elders. Her father had finished his egg and hers too, before she appeared, as nonchalant and smiling as if she were out the earliest of all.
The eternal qui-vive and the misfortunes of war were forgotten in the arms of courtesans. "What more could have been expected of a used-up sleepy-headed king, the issue of an infamous mother and a mad father?" "Oh, whatever you say about Charles VII pales beside the testimony of the portrait of him in the Louvre painted by Foucquet.
"Go, then; go and get your sleep. What a sleepy-headed generation it is." Johnny longed to ask whether the last generation was less sleepy-headed, and whether the gentleman with two thousand a year had sat up talking all night before he pressed his foot for the last time on his native soil; but he did not dare.
They had sung him awake many and many a bright summer morning; and one of his tenderest memories of the time when he was a very little boy and was put to bed, as little boys should be, at sundown was of their faint, irregular, sleepy-headed chirpings and twitterings as they settled themselves to slumber on their perches for the night.
Luis de Leon's ill-health was notorious and, in fact, so obvious that it is recorded by the court in an official minute. His state did not improve in jail. Suffering from fever 'como á sus mercedes les consta' so he says plaintively he had nobody to look after him in his secret cell save a sleepy-headed boy, a fellow-prisoner who was half a simpleton.
There was ample time and space to inspect the fierce but sleepy-headed town. In the main street I observed six grog-shops, side by side, actually shoulder to shoulder, cheek by jowl. Another street appeared to be all grog-shops but for the ominous exception of an undertaker.
Then they all fell to counting their toes, to keep from becoming too much interested in Bobby, for just so sure as they get interested or excited, the Sleepy-headed People fall asleep. Presently the reader awoke, and began to mumble a lot of stuff out of the big book, about Epaminondas, and Sesostris, and Cyaxeres, and Clearchus, and the rest, and they all grew a little more wakeful.
Well is it for you that you have not neglected my sheep this night as you did last. No more shall you send that sleepy-headed lad Lulach to be your proxy, for his sleeping cost me the life of one of my best ewe lambs. So look you well to your charge now. Here is a cake of bread to keep you from hunger, and a flagon of good posset to keep you warm 'tis your nightly allowance.
