Sandy, sore, sleepy, and sunburned, they were presently in the returning cars, all wilted New York returning with them. Teddy slept soundly, sometimes in his mother's arms, sometimes in John's. It was John who carried him up the steps of the Seventieth Street house at ten o'clock. A gentleman waiting to see Mrs. Bannister? Goodness, Aurora, why didn't you ask Mrs. Curley to see him?
I divided my nights between the open parks and a thieves' kitchen in Seven Dials. If I was decently dressed it was because I had stolen the suit down the Thames Valley beat the night before last. I was on my way back when first that sleepy square, and then her open window, proved too much for me.
There was the same little cinema on the canal with its gaudy coloured posters, there was the old woman sitting at the foot of the little bridge with her basket of apples and bootlaces, there was the same wooden hut with the sweets and the fruit, the same figures of peasant women, soldiers, boys hurrying across the bridge, the same slow, sleepy Isvostchick stumbling along carelessly.
Michael-hater, that I held him in opprobrious contempt." And Mr. Jinks glanced at the landlord. "He was making the breeches for St. Michael, whom he is to represent," said Mr. Jinks, "day after to-morrow; and I have not done with him the Irish villain!" Mr. Jinks looked again, significantly, at the host. That gentleman had not lost a word of the conversation, and his sleepy eyes now opened.

She didn't make a move to go until half past two, and I was that sleepy, I couldn't keep my eyes open." "Yes," said Stuart, "I remember. I'm sorry.
But now Sark, which had been behind me all my ride, lay full in sight, and the eastern sky behind it began to quicken with new light. The gulls were rousing themselves, and flying out to sea, with their plaintive cries; and the larks were singing their first sleepy notes to the coming day.

Macdonald was keeping his horse back from the door with the barrel of his rifle, while he peered out cautiously again, perplexed to understand the reason why Dalton had not led his men against them in a charge. "Not all the way, Frances. She rode behind me till she got so cold and sleepy I was afraid she'd fall off." "Yes, I'll bet she put on half of it!" she said, spitefully.
"I was pining for talk, for wit, for a breath of the great world beyond these sleepy meadows. You bring all that with you." Austin leaned forward. "How do you know I'm not bringing even more?" The girl's eyes drooped before his gaze. Then she fluttered a glance at him in which there was a gleam of mockery. "You bring the most valuable gift of all appreciation of my frocks.
Here we had ordered a warm room, beds and supper, by förbud, but found neither. A sleepy, stupid girl, who had just got up to wait on a captain who had arrived before us and was going on, told us there was nothing to be had.
