"I must have dozed a little while before morning, for my eyes were shut, and when I opened them it was daylight, and there stood Mame with her hair all done up neat and correct, and her eyes bright with admiration of existence. "'Gee whiz, Jeff! she exclaims, 'but I'm hungry. I could eat a "I looked up and caught her eye. Her smile went back in and she gave me a cold look of suspicion.
On his return at evening the dinner at Grey Pine was made rather less uncomfortable by the presence of Rivers who talked to Ann Penhallow while the Colonel dozed in his armchair.
"It seems to me that we were a little premature in quarreling about how we are to divide that reward. It looks as though there wasn't going to be any reward." "Meantime," said Ashe gloomily, "I suppose I have got to go back and tell Peters. I expect it will break his heart." Blandings Castle dozed in the calm of an English Sunday afternoon. All was peace.
He dozed off again, and when he opened his eyes once more a kindly looking man in some sort of black robe was standing by him. "It's all right now, isn't it?" he said, speaking in good English. "Yes, thank you, sir, as right as can be. I hope to be back again soon." "Well well; but how did you come here? Where did you get that?" He pointed to the wound on the soldier's forehead.
That, in the circumstances, was a great relief and soon Maggie dozed, seeing the telegraph wires and the trees like waving hands through a mist of sleep. As she fell asleep she realised that this was only the second time in all her life that she had been in a train. Some one bawled in her car "Skeaton! Skeaton!" and she looked up to find a goat-faced porter gazing at her through the window.
Again he lifted his head. As before, he could hear nothing save the snoring of the large man and the dream-twitching of the Professor. He gazed about him. The camp was still. He peered outside in the moonlight. The horses were all down at rest. At length he dropped back once more, closed his eyes sleepily, and soon dozed a second time. But again he was aroused. He whipped up his head.
But only the deep breathing of the girl broke the quiet, for now the night wind had lulled itself to sleep. "Hinnu! hinnu! Asleep! I have been talking in the dark, unheard. I did wish the girl would plant in her heart this sacred tale," muttered she, in a querulous voice. Nestling into her bed of sweet-scented grass, she dozed away into another dream.
He sat with his back to a tree stump all that night, holding the kitten in his arms. His mind was tired, and he talked or thought coherently no longer. Towards dawn he dozed. When he awoke, he was stiff but in better heart, and the kitten slept warmly and reassuringly inside his jacket. And fear, he found, had gone from amidst the trees.
"I kissed her, and she dozed off, whispering, 'It is good. At the end, that near gone my ear was at her lips, she roused for the last time. 'Remember, Tommy; remember my feather bed. Then she died, in childbirth, up there on the Chilcat Station." The tent heeled over and half flattened before the gale. Dick refilled his pipe, while Tommy drew the tea and set it aside against Molly's return.
Occasionally he dozed, but only to start into wakefulness and to experience apprehensions keener than before. The man was beside himself, and his anxiety had its effect upon Tom and Jerry. Their compassion increased when they learned how Sam Kirby had been taken off and how Rouletta had been brought to this desperate pass.
