As a remedy for tiredness they were to be left without water and food all night. As plainly as was possible I insisted to the Turk that the horses must be watered at once, and afterwards given a good ration of barley. I dragged him from the fire to the horses and made my meaning clear enough. The Turk was stubborn.
So all over the house and grounds they went in a very few minutes, and at last came to a stand-still in Bridget's chamber over the kitchen, tired enough to sit down a while all but Prudy, who "didn't have any kind of tiredness about her." "Look here, Prudy Parlin," said Grace, "you mustn't open that drawer." "Who owns it?" said Prudy, putting in both hands. "Why, Bridget does, of course."
There were the rainbow sands, the tropic glories of leaf and flower, and there, of course, was the cook, crowned with white flowers, and with all the wrinkles of crossness and tiredness and hard work wiped out of her face. 'Why, cook, you're quite pretty! Anthea said, as soon as she had got her breath after the tumble-rush-whirl of the carpet.
"What are you dreamin' on? Are you too tired to move? Come on. We'll have a good wash, that'll take away some of the tiredness, then a big dinner, and a good bed tonight. Tomorrer mornin' we'll be as good as new." "I think I'd better git right on the next train and go back to Jeffersonvillie," murmured Shorty, faintly struggling with himself. "They may need me there."

He made her lean back on the couch. He put a pillow at her head and a footstool at her feet. "Just rest," he said, and she rested. But Rowcliffe did not rest. He moved uneasily about the room. A sudden tiredness came over her. She thought, "Yes. We walked too far." She leaned her head back on the cushion. Her thin arms lay stretched out on either side of her, supported by the couch.
Two hours past noon they resumed their journey: on, on, on, treading the elephant track which still went due east straight as an arrow to the blue horizon. The frightful tiredness they had felt before the noonday halt had passed, giving place to a dull, dreamy feeling, such as comes after taking opium.
Apart from partial snow-blindness, which fell at intervals upon the Colonel, the tiredness of the eyes was like a special sickness upon them both. For many hours together they never raised their lids, looking out through slits, cat-like, on the world. They had not spoken to each other for many days or was it only hours? when the Colonel, looking at the Boy, said: "You've got to have a face-guard.
He became so gloomily certain she would do this that he was jubilant when he finally saw her coming along on the other side coming purposelessly, shorn of that eagerness which had always been able, for the moment, to vanquish the tiredness.
Peter remembered the wonderful way their feet skimmed over the ground "'most like flyin'." Not a blade of grass bent under their weight, not a grain of sand was dislodged; and more marvelous than all there was no tiredness, no aching of joint or muscle. All of which was bound to happen when feet were shod with faery shoes. "See me walk!" cried some one. "See me run!" cried some one else.
His modest conveyance stopped at the gate, and he dragged himself to the kitchen entrance; his whole demeanour betrayed great mental and physical tiredness. He tried to attract the attention of the cook, but failed entirely; the kitchen-maid also turned her back on him.
