Before Larry lay down, after the hut-keeper had gone to sleep, they observed that he put fresh grease into the lamp and trimmed the wick. More than once James awoke and looked around; everybody in the hut appeared to be sleeping soundly. The two stockmen and the hut-keeper especially were snoring loudly, and not a sound from the outside was heard.
And as to the various kinds of water-thieves, said my friend Pea, there were the Tier-rangers, who silently dropped alongside the tiers of shipping in the Pool, by night, and who, going to the companion-head, listened for two snores snore number one, the skipper's; snore number two, the mate's mates and skippers always snoring great guns, and being dead sure to be hard at it if they had turned in and were asleep.
Erasmus being taken out with a windlass, or Jael, as Altdorfer has shown her in his romantic print, neatly hammering the nail into the head of the sprawling, snoring Sisera. But there is also and Holbein's Dance of Death, terrible, jocular, tender, vulgar and poetic, contains it all, this German world a great tenderness.
During the many idle hours when our frigate was lying in harbour, this man was either merrily playing at checkers, or mending his clothes, or snoring like a trumpeter under the lee of the booms. When fast asleep, a national salute from our batteries could hardly move him.
"I couldn't hold my eyes open five minutes longer to save my life," muttered Sam, as he rolled over into the other. In a minute the three friends began to breathe heavily. Two minutes more and they were snoring, a trio in happy forgetfulness of all their toils. Now, it must be told that this pleasant state of things did not last long.
Sometimes she had had such dreams as this dreams in which she was back in the world, wearing its garments, tasting its pleasures, looking again upon forbidden things. Why should she not now be dreaming? Then a sound fell upon her ear; a sound, long forgotten, yet so familiar that as she heard it, she felt herself a child at home again the soft, contented snoring of old Debbie, fast asleep.
These I would carry inside my shirt, and would only dare to produce when I could slip away into the fields, and lie hid among the long grass, or at night when the rushlight was still burning, and my father's snoring assured me that there was no danger of his detecting me.
"I propose we go to sleep." "That is a nice idea!" exclaimed Michel Ardan. "It is forty hours since we have closed our eyes," said Nicholl. "A few hours' sleep would set us up again." "Never!" replied Michel. "Good," said Nicholl; "every man to his humour mine is to sleep." And lying down on a divan, Nicholl was soon snoring like a forty-eight pound bullet.
Lave it to me to get His Excellency out of this, and then hurry the drunk waiters away! And I spoke a word to the boys in the pantry. 'Boys, says I, 'as ye value your salvation, keep up a great clatteration here by dropping the spoons and forks about, the way they'll not hear it if the drunk waiters get snoring, and then the thrain arrives, and we run up to meet His Excellency your father.
I hitched my horse to a tree, pilfered some hay and fodder from two or three nags tied adjacent, and picked my way across a gangway, several barge-decks, and a floating landing, to the mail steamer that lay outside. Her deck and cabin were filled with people, stretched lengthwise and crosswise, tangled, grouped, and snoring, but all apparently fast asleep.
