Cuthbert was almost positive he heard him give a disgusted grunt as he settled back for another snooze, and they heard nothing farther from him until morning, when he arose, yawning and stretching his huge bulk, as though he had been dead to the world from the moment he lay down.
The spoon, being almost red-hot, the clamor of the porkers redoubled, and with indignant squeals and grumblings they dashed off into the dense growth of scrub oak and pine that covered the island in its interior. At the same moment the captain, who had been taking a snooze under some small bushes, awoke with a start. "Eh eh eh! What's all that?" he exclaimed, hearing the yells.
"He's getting wild at not catching the pirates, I suppose," said Barkins. "Then all that badger gets bottled up in him, and he lets it off at us. Well, I don't see any fun in watching the fire; I'm going down for a snooze." "Wish I could," said Smith. "The fellow who invented night-watches ought to have been smothered.
Perhaps it is the absolute idleness of the community that makes it so interesting. To fish, to swim, to snooze on the rocks, that is all, for ever and ever. No past, no future. A society that lives for the laziest sort of pleasure. If they were rich, what more could they have? Is not this the ideal of a watering-place life?
I take it that he was some tired when he got up here night before; but that he cut out dinner and turned in for a good twelve-hour snooze instead. Then he's had a quiet day, and I judge he was a lot better already. He's just got well into his letters, when an attendant guy in a white duck uniform steps in and taps him on the shoulder. "Well?" says Old Hickory.
Think he's taking a snooze, he seems so quiet? But all the time the old chap's on the alert, and he has his orders, too." "To upset the anchor over the bow, you mean?" asked Andy. "Just that," came Frank's reply. "If anything happens to the machinery you'll hear a series of quick whistles from Felipe.
"No need for you to watch to-night. I'll have a snooze myself, and go out and relieve Mary before dawn." Garth had heard enough; they were all placed for him; and his way was clear. He softly drew himself around the further side of the tepee, pausing long between every move, to listen.
But, I say, it must have spoilt somebody's beauty snooze. But look there, sir! That must mean gardens." "What, Pete?" "Can't you see them glow-worm things sparkling?" "Yes." "Well, sir, ain't you going to say Now?" "No, Pete. We cannot have passed the big landing-place yet. If we have, only just. Yes, that must be it, and this must be the spot.
"We have no lady's maid on board to attend on you, Miss Marlow," said I, as I got up to leave the cabin; "but Flitch will put your berth to rights; and if you'll follow my advice, you'll turn in and take a good snooze, for you want it, I think." The poor little girl was almost falling asleep at table. Mr Marlow thanked me for my good advice, which he said he and his daughter would follow.
"No matter," shrugged the Mexican. "There is no hurry." With reiterated and profuse thanks, he pulled his horse around and rode back with Stratton as far as the Rocking-R trail, where he turned off. "He'll find some corner where he can curl up and snooze for the couple of hours he's saved," thought Buck, watching the departing figure.
