He rang the bell, which was answered with the briefest delay by a sleepy-looking clerk, who had been taking shorthand notes for Mr.
I am here with my charges" two sleepy-looking English children stood yawning beside her "on the way to Naples, and behold, the English Signora the governess, you understand who was to have come with us to deliver the children safely to their parents is at the last moment unable to come." "But why can't she come?" "Non lo so!" The woman shrugged her shoulders.
There was a minute of waiting, and then the door was opened to Don by a sleepy-looking Irishwoman, garbed in a very dirty pinafore. "I don't want any firewood to-day at all, at all, thank you," she said pleasantly, her kindly face expanding into a genial smile. "I have not brought you firewood, but I want to know where Dr.
We didn't smoke then, and we used to sit in the verandah, and Aileen would talk to us till it was time to go to bed. Even when we went into Bargo, or some of the other country towns, they did not seem so much brighter. Sleepy-looking, steady-going places they all were, with people crawling about them like a lot of old working bullocks. Just about as sensible, many of 'em.
"Don't know, Ma'am," answered the driver, a rather sleepy-looking middle-aged man. "Guess I'll have to investigate her."

Macpherson no time to polish off the scone. When the last of it was disappearing Mother became uneasy again. So did Dad. He stared through the window at the parson's sleepy-looking horse, fastened to the fence.
Le Blanc and Sanborn soon joined them, the latter heavy-eyed and sleepy-looking from the late hours of the night before. He was smoking a cigarette. "Look here, Sanborn, I don't want to be too strict, but you know there's too much gasolene around here for it to be safe to smoke in the shed," said Frank, with some irritation, as he spied him.
He married a girl as round and as sleepy-looking as himself. She was a Miss Hillardyce, daughter of "Squash" Hillardyce of the Berars, who married his Chief's daughter by mistake. But that is another story. A honeymoon in India is seldom more than a week long; but there is nothing to hinder a couple from extending it over two or three years.
Quickly I produced the brandy, and gave him a stiff peg, which he swallowed at a single gulp. His eyes were no longer sleepy-looking, but there was a quick fire in them which showed me that, although suppressed, there burned within his heart a fierce desire to get at the truth. Evidently he had learned something since I left him, but what it was I could not gather.
