She had seen it there that very morning, when she was helping to dust the room, and took the opportunity of a spare half-hour to slip up and rest herself by reading it in the drawer. Unluckily, however, she had fallen asleep, and when I got the drawer out, there she lay, and I actually heard her snore. A shocking thing this education, ma'am, you see, and teaching people to read.

"Because I probably shall, and everyone makes such a fuss, and acts as if it was my fault." "I'm so tired I shan't even hear you," said Bessie, with a laugh. "Snore all you like, I won't mind!"

That punch, I say that punch was no better than paw aw-oison." And here the Count's head sank back, and he fell to snore. "IT WAS POISON!" said she.
