He was roused from the doze by a tremendous snorting and snarling and found Black Bart playing with Satan.
He busied himself with a sputtering return fire to show he was still alive and prepared to exchange compliments.

Miss Nippett soon forgot her neglect of "Turpsichor" and fell into a further doze. When she next awoke, she asked: "Would you mind drawing them curtains?" "Like that?" "You are good to me: reely you are." "Nonsense!" "But then you ought to be: you've got a good man to love you an' give you babies." "What is it you want?" asked Mavis sadly.

We set spurs to our horses, hastened after the troop, and joined them.
I could hear Jimmy Jocks snoring peaceful, but I could only doze by jerks, and when I dozed I dreamed horrible.

Get out, you street dog!" they yells.
