The she-bear snoozed sulkily in her corner for she was fond of pig and monkey and Andoo was busy licking the side of his paw and smearing his face to cool the smart and inflammation of his wounds.

I hung the duck from this nail the cord was good and strong, and it couldn't have broken loose. You see it ain't there now.

I have taken a nap on horseback; I have marched for miles, a musket on my shoulder, in complete slumberous unconsciousness; I have nodded while Phelps was acting, snoozed while Mario was singing, and played the marmot while Remenyi was fiddling; awful confession, I have dozed through an important debate in the House of Commons!
