I was tired, but not over-tired. 'And now we have had Holy Communion; and this afternoon we take our party on shore: Wadrokala's wife Carry, and Jemima, their daughter of eight or nine. There is no fighting or quarrelling here now. I know all the people, so I leave them with good hope. On the 7th, Joseph Atkin began a letter as follows: 'Our Bishop is much improved in health and strength.
I am aware that this is the practice, if not the theory, of our society, to postpone the delights of social intercourse until after dark, and rather late at night, when body and mind are both weary with the exertions of business, and when we can give to what is the most delightful and profitable thing in life, social and intellectual society, only the weariness of dull brains and over-tired muscles.
This order was as unusual as her late sleep, but she seemed to herself to have awakened a different person, one in whom such small changes of action were merely an index of greater possibilities.

Jamison gave up, and Bell, and Al the pilot fell asleep while Jones was trying to discuss something technical with him. Jones himself yawned and yawned and when Al snored in his face he gave up. They retired to their bunks. There was no point in standing guard over the ship.
It wasn't only or principally for Uncle Marmy's sake that we loved dear granny. She was as sweet and good to us as she could be, and I'd have loved her awfully if she hadn't been been any relation at all; but here the little girl ignominiously burst into tears.

"This is only a mood, dearest; you are over-tired and things look black to you I have such days everybody has these hours of depression, but we must fight them. It would be so much better for us both if I were your husband, then I could be with you and watch over you every hour. I could help you fight these dismal moods. It would be my hourly care.
'And uncle hasn't been told yet ... I'm not at all over-tired, doctor. 'Yes, mother dear, you are, and you must do as the doctor orders. It was Ethel who had come into the room; she touched Leonora's arm caressingly. 'And where are you girls to sleep? The spare room isn't 'Oh, mother!
