By Friday, I was starting to feel better, but my friend Lou, a scientist and biotech executive, warned me that this could be a lull.

But abruptly it intruded around corners when least expected after scenes of rural somnolence had lulled us.

The Navy ships remained off shore lest anyone be lulled into forgetting how many were still in need.

Lulled by the midday sun and the slow steady motion of my horse, I remember distinctly thinking of nothing at all.

For a second I became lost in memory, lulled into nostalgia by the sensory banquet of collective human death.

Sleep kindly came to some, and lulled their spirits into momentary oblivion.

Soon after the tent in question was pitched, and it looked so large and new that the man of property's suspicions were lulled.

As there is nothing else to do it is not long before we turn in and fall asleep, lulled by the rumbling of the train.
