Solomon Owl in "Cousin Simon Screecher"

“Oh! You ought to have your rest!” his cousin exclaimed. Simon knew that if Solomon went all day without sleep he would be frightfully peevish by nightfall.

“Well—I'll try to get forty winks,” Solomon promised. “But I don't believe I can get more than that, because I have so much on my mind that I'm sure to be wakeful.”

Simon Screecher was somewhat worried as they parted. His wailing, tremulous whistle, which floated through the shadowy woods, showed that he was far from happy.
