Dion heard her say: "Sink to slumber, good-night, And angels of light With love you shall fold As the Christ Child of old." "There's Fa!" whispered Robin, sending to Dion a semi-roguish look. Dion held up his hand and formed "Hush!" with his lips. Rosamund finished the verse: "While the stars dimly shine May no sorrow be thine."
It was close and short work to dispatch him but I succeeded, the report of my gun brought all hands to their feet they examined the headless reptile, and were soon again lost in slumber. after while we arrived safely at Fort Collins bought a supply of food and other necessaries and took the trail for the head waters of La-Cash-a-po-da.
I woke as from a long, deep, and unrefreshing slumber. I was lying in my bed, with the curtains, drawn closely around it the heavy crimson curtains, with their white inside draperies and snowy tufted fringes. I had a vague consciousness that some hand had recently parted them, and the tassels on the valance were quivering still with the impulse they had thus received. Then I heard voices.
It is God alone who is powerful enough to let His authority slumber; it is only His laws that are strong enough to protect and avenge themselves.
In this particular instance the result was voices raised in argument voices that reached Chip, grinning and listening on the porch of the White House and tardy slumber overtaking a disgruntled Happy Family on the brink of violence.

Men waked from troubled slumber, crying aloud like children, piteously, unreasoningly, for water. The doctor went from one to another, restraining, soothing, reassuring.

I believe it was the very peculiarity of its name and the idea of something mystic and dreamy connected with it that first led me in my boyish ramblings into Sleepy Hollow. The character of the valley seemed to answer to the name; the slumber of past ages apparently reigned over it; it had not awakened to the stir of improvement which had put all the rest of the world in a bustle.
But methought that when the hour of my doom arrived, I was struck with terror at its approach, and the anguish of my heart was so appalling, while looking forward to its coming, that my inert body was convulsed with horror, and so my deep slumber was suddenly broken.
The Emperor went out at eleven o'clock, and remained three or four hours; and I seated myself in his armchair, near his table, to await his return, intending to rise and retire as soon as I heard him enter, but was so exhausted with fatigue that sleep suddenly overtook me, and I dropped into a deep slumber, my head resting on my arm, and my arm on his Majesty's table.
Dunwoodie went to the spot and found an aged stranger. He lay on his back, his eyes closed as if in slumber, and his hands pressed on his breast contained something that glittered like silver. The subject of his care was a tin box, through which the bullet had pierced to find a way to his heart, and the dying moments of the old man must have been passed in drawing it from his bosom.
