His brothers were sleeping lightly, looking as though they would be easily and speedily aroused. But the monk was snoring deeply, and the bloated face which was turned towards him displayed that abandonment of repose which bespeaks a very sound and even sottish slumber. The boy looked with repulsion at the flushed face, the open mouth, and dropped jaw.
His mood never changed; he was contented and entertaining the whole time. Every evening one whisky and soda was brought him no more. Before their bedtime, his little girls had a wildly hilarious half-hour with him. At night a tremendous snoring could be heard from his cottage.
I at length fell asleep, but I was continually fancying that something was going to occur; the camp, however, remained perfectly quiet, the only sounds heard within it being the snoring of the sleepers, and occasionally the shouts of the sentries as they called to each other.
I am provided with this unsightly but none the less acceptable garment, and given the happy privilege of occupying the floor of a small out-building in company with several rough-looking pack-train teamsters similarly incased; I pass a not altogether comfortless night, the pattering of rain against the one small window effectually suppressing such thankless thoughts as have a tendency to come unbidden whenever the snoring of any of my fellow-lodgers gets aggravatingly harsh.
They were hard to keep clean, but I liked those things because they reminded a body of the fact that days had gone by when other people was living with their ambitions and loves, and snoring at night, and pain in their wisdom teeth, and all forgotten now! Anyway, you'd never know they had wealth, they lived so simply, and Mrs. Colfax had even done much of her own housework.
When dinner was over and Môme lay snoring before the blaze for the October nights are often chilly in Finistere Lys curled up in the chimney corner with her embroidery, and gave me a swift glance from under her dropping lashes. "You look like a schoolgirl, Lys," I said teasingly. "I don't believe you are sixteen yet." She pushed back her heavy burnished hair thoughtfully.
"I hooked one big fish, but he got away." "The big fish always do," remarked Snap, significantly. "Oh, I'm not exaggerating," growled Whopper. When they came in sight of the camp it looked particularly lonely. "It's a wonder Mr. Kiddy Leech didn't come out to welcome us," remarked Giant. "He's too lazy," said Shep. "More than likely you'll find him snoring in front of the fire."
"In we both crept, most willingly. She gave us the long tail of her hair, and said, 'If you want me, pull. But go to sleep, if you can! and, before she had well finished the sentence, her eyes closed once more. In such good company a snoring ghost seemed a thing hardly to be realized. We held the long plait between us, and, clinging to it as drowning men to a rope, we soon slept also.
He went first to his own room, for he half suspected that it might be Dade who was downstairs with Betty, and if it was Well, just now he remembered vividly how Dade had defied him, and he made a mental vow that if it were Dade who was with Betty the young man would leave the Lazy Y before dawn quite suddenly. But it was not Dade. Dade was in bed, snoring, stretched out comfortably.
An instant afterwards the man was gagged and blindfolded and lashed to the rail unable to utter a sound or move an inch. This was done almost without a whisper. Uncle Prudent and Phil Evans listened. All was silent within the cabins. Every one on board was asleep. They reached Frycollin's cabin. Tapage was snoring away in a style worthy of his name, and that promised well.
