He rose at break of day, as he had once before done when he was in fear of Jacob, and took all gentle means to rouse this fatal brother from his deep sleep; he dared not be loud, because his apprentice was in the house, and would report everything. But Jacob was not to be roused. He fought out with his fist at the unknown cause of disturbance, turned over, and snored again.
Greg did not awaken, but snored on with crescendo effects. "We ought to teach a beast like that a lesson," whispered Poultney, as he, also, stared in at the unconscious but offending Greg. "How?" A hurried, whispered conference followed. Right after that Mr. Davis tied a stout cord to the tent-pole of the khaki house across the company street.
In the silence of the cold sub-Arctic night he fought the battle out while automatically he waited on his friend. West snored on the other side of the fire. When West awoke, Morse was whittling on a piece of wood with his sharp hunting-knife. It was a flat section from a spruce, and it had been trimmed with an axe till it resembled a shake in shape.
The two grey-headed men's hearts ached for him, and Captain Grigsby delivered himself of this aphorism: "Say what you will, Charles, but youth pays the devil of a long price for its pleasures.

We could scarcely sleep, owing to the noise and bustle of the carmen, as they came and went, and loudly snored in various parts of our dormitory.

The soldier, who had just been sent down from Paris to take the place of another recently invalided home, snored on, unconscious of our scrutiny.

But they all woke at last, and once more there was the most terrible hullabaloo until Foster-mother recollected the kitten in the charcoal bunker.
