Nell was now deep in her siesta. She was inert, relaxed, untroubled by dreams. Her hair was damp on her brow. Again Nell stirred, and gradually awakened. Her eyes unclosed, humid, shadowy, unconscious. They rested upon Dick for a moment before they became clear and comprehensive. He stood back fully ten feet from her, and to all outside appearances regarded her calmly. "I've interrupted your siesta again," he said.英文原著 · 《Desert Gold》
Next day before siesta, the confessor came to inform the French General that Sister Theresa and the Mother consented to receive him at the grating in the parlour before vespers. The General spent the siesta in pacing to and fro along the quay in the noonday heat. Thither the priest came to find him, and brought him to the convent by way of the gallery round the cemetery. Fountains, green trees, and rows of arcading maintained a cool freshness in keeping with the place.英文原著 · 《The Duchesse de Langeais》
Then he said:
"Come, Signorina! It is getting late. We must go to the island."
And they pulled out round the point to the open sea. During the hot weather the dwellers in the Casa del Mare made the siesta after the mid-day meal. The awnings and blinds were drawn. Silence reigned, and the house was still as the Palace of the Sleeping Beauty. At the foot of the cliffs the sea slept in the sunshine, and it was almost an empty sea, for few boats passed by in those hot, still hours. To-day the servants were quiet in their quarters.英文原著 · 《A Spirit in Prison》
The Marchesino looked openly amazed for a moment, then even confused. He stared first at Hermione, then at Vere. "I am sorry, Madre; I was kept for a moment," the girl said. "Are you coming up-stairs?"
"The Marchese says he must go, Vere. He is determined not to deprive us of our siesta."
"One needs to sleep at this hour in the hot weather," said the Marchesino. The expression of wonder and confusion was still upon his face, and he spoke slowly. "Good-bye, Marchese," Vere said, holding out her hand. He took it and bowed over it and let it go.英文原著 · 《A Spirit in Prison》
But she drew back. "I didn't sleep last night--and then going into Naples-- I'll go to my room and lie down. I'll keep quiet. Vere will look after you. I'll be down at tea."
She went away before he could say or do anything. For some time he was alone. Then Vere came. Hermione had not told her of the episode, and she had only come because she thought the pretended siesta had lasted long enough.英文原著 · 《A Spirit in Prison》
