Lad, starting up from a snooze at the Mistress's call, would be deftly tripped as he started to bound down the veranda steps, and would risk bruises and fractures by an ugly fall to the driveway below. Wherever Lad went, whatever Lad did, there was a cruel trick awaiting him.
The boys did full justice to the layout. Then Dave went over the machine, seeing to it that every part was in order. "I'll have to take a little nap, Hiram," he advised his companion. "No, a good long one," corrected Hiram. "If we're going to lay off until night, there isn't much to do. I'll stay awake and keep a look out for anything happening. You see, I had quite a snooze up there in the air."
"There's only one place more to spend your time taking a snooze," said Mark. "Where's that?" "Inside the earth." Then they fell asleep. During the night and the next day the Porpoise forged on underneath the waves. Washington relieved Mr. Henderson in the conning tower and reported the machinery to be working well.
"And then goes home to her mother to snooze," called Julie breathlessly, leaning back. "I don't think," ejaculated Donovan. Julie tipped down the drink. "You knew it all the time," she said. And they all burst out laughing. Peter drank, and called for another, his eyes on Julie. He knew that he could not sum her up, but he refused to believe that this was the secret behind the eyes.
"Who's going to spill blood?" asked the Jesuitical Bill; "but if he likes to run hisself on to the boat-hook " "Put it down," said the skipper sternly, and Bill sullenly obeyed. "We'll have to snooze on deck," said Codd. "And mind we don't snore," said the sarcastic Bill, "'cos the dog mightn't like it."
Well, about three o'clock, as I told you before, what with the heat of the day and from having walked about for hours in a lazy way, I felt very tired; so I determined to have a sleep, and I laid myself down, my head just on the ridge of the hill, towards the field, and my body over the side down amongst the heath; my bag, which was nearly filled with creatures, lay at a little distance from my face; the creatures were struggling in it, I remember, and I thought to myself, how much more comfortably off I was than they; I was taking my ease on the nice open hill, cooled with the breezes, whilst they were in the nasty close bag, coiling about one another, and breaking their very hearts, all to no purpose; and I felt quite comfortable and happy in the thought, and little by little closed my eyes, and fell into the sweetest snooze that ever I was in in all my life; and there I lay over the hill's side, with my head half in the field, I don't know how long, all dead asleep.
Jack watched the Hussars as they disappeared over the brow of the hill. "Lucky beggars!" he muttered, and lying down upon his bed he pulled his helmet over his eyes, and prepared for a quiet snooze before the order should be given to mount.
"One can see he's been very badly brought up. He wants licking into shape." On the second Sunday after Philip arrived an unlucky incident occurred. Mr. Carey had retired as usual after dinner for a little snooze in the drawing-room, but he was in an irritable mood and could not sleep. Josiah Graves that morning had objected strongly to some candlesticks with which the Vicar had adorned the altar.
When you come to Sark you've got to enjoy yourselves, whether you want to or not. Suppose we take lunch along to the Eperquerie, and the elders can bask and snooze, and we'll bathe three times off that black ledge under Les Fontaines. And if the Seigneur's out fishing perhaps he'll take some of us with him, those who don't scream when the poor fish gets a hook in its throat.
As though in response to an unspoken thought, he said casually: "I'm going to walk awhile when you've lain down, and then " He pointed to a spot about twenty yards away. "Do you see the two big stones there? Well, when I've finished my walk and my talk with Aunty Primrose" he laughed up at the moon "I'm going to sit down there and snooze till daylight."
