Laura lets me carry her skates, an' I'm glad of it, although I have my hands full already with the lantern, the hockies, and the rest. Hiram Peabody keeps us waitin', for he has overslept himself, an' when he comes trottin' out at last the girls make fun of him all except Sister Mary, an' she sort o' sticks up for Hiram, an' we're all so 'cute we kind o' calc'late we know the reason why.
"'Sam, said she, 'why don't you speak? and she shook me. "'Hullo, sais I, pretendin' to wake up, 'what's the matter! have I overslept myself? is it time to get up? and I put out my arm to rub my eyes, and lo and behold I exposed my coat sleeve. "'No, Sam, said she, 'you couldn't oversleep yourself, for you haven't slept at all, you ain't even ondressed. "'Ain't I, said I, 'are you sure?

When he awoke it was with a feeling that he had overslept himself, and that the morning was well advanced. This feeling grew stronger, too, when, on turning and stretching, he heard his mother's voice: "Paul, Paul, awake at last? Why, what a sleepy boy you are! Have you had a disturbed night, dear?"

It was broad full daylight; he had overslept himself, and the smack was leaving by the early tide. He was even now summoned on board.

"But at last I had a great shock; everything broke up like a great, grand, noble dream, and I waked out of it just as weak and wretched as one feels when one has overslept. Oh, Mary, I found I was mistaken in him, all, all, wholly!"

I arose in a hurry, dressed, put a few things in a bag, not forgetting the Testament which I had resolved to present to the inhabitants of Finisterra.
I am downright glad you missed the boats this morning; overslept yourself, I s'pose; I wanted to say `good-bye' to you and your chums, and I declare to goodness I was only just thinkin' when you come up to me that I'd be obliged to heave the brig to off the rock and run ashore in a boat just to shake nippers with you.
