When she was well asleep and snoring, he ran his sinewy arm in the hole he had made in the double wall lifted the end of a short, heavy plank, caught it back against a nail and gripped the packet of bank notes that lay snug beneath it.
He grasped the hanging rope-ladder and drew himself noiselessly on deck. There was no one in sight. He saw a light in the galley, and knew that the captain's son, who kept the lonely anchor-watch, was making coffee. Alf went forward to the forecastle. The men were snoring in their bunks, and in that confined space the heat seemed to him insufferable.
Got any ducks out there you want led to water?" "Maybe I dunno. I just canned two men this morning, before I left." Ford was debating with himself how best to approach the subject to him most important. "Good ee-nough! I can take the place of those two men; eat their share of grub, do their share of snoring, and shirk their share of work, and drink their share of booze oh, lovely!
Once there came a little stifled cough from outside his window; there was the silky rustle of the faint breeze in the trees outside; and now and again came the snoring of a young owl in the ivy somewhere overhead. He counted five hundred deliberately, to compel himself to wait; and meanwhile his sub-conscious self laboured at the scheme.
His companion was a big, heavy man, with immense whiskers sprinkled with grey, who was evidently very drunk, for he was lying full-length on a bench, his face purple and swollen, snoring loudly. I asked for bread, sardines, and wine, and, careful to observe the custom of the country I was in, duly invited the tipsy young man to join in the repast.
She telled Sarah Jane to 'tend to me and Sarah Jane's asleep. I hear her snoring. Ain't we glad there ain't no grown folks to meddle? Can't we have fun?" "What'll we play?" asked Frances, who had deliberately stepped in a mud puddle on the way, and splashed mud all over herself, "let's make mud pies." "Naw, we ain't a-going to make no mud pies," objected Jimmy.
Pierson slept in a little room next ours. "Pierson's asleep," said Tom. "I heard her snoring a minute ago. We mustn't get into each other's beds. Mother said we must promise not, for fear of catching cold." "I know, but it's a pity," I said. "Tom, do you know oh, Tom, do you know?" "What?" said Tom. "Something so wonderful, I don't know if I should tell you, but mother didn't say I wasn't to.
Teddy Tucker had done a very serious thing, but in his zeal he thought he had accomplished a great feat. Well satisfied with his efforts the lad entered his own car softly, undressed in the corridor and crept quietly to bed. In a very short time he was snoring, sleeping the sleep of peace and innocence.
A heap that I rightly guessed was the doctor, moved uneasily. "Doctor," I said softly, "are you awake?" "Yes," came the answer. "A small child has evidently mistaken me for its father or mother. Will you have it?" I feigned sleep. Other figures were snoring peacefully and emphatically, but the tiny inmates of my hay bed were painfully awake and sleep seemed banished.
And this agreeing mightily with Jack's natural turn for taking of short cuts out of difficulties, he fell in with my views at once, and so, bidding God bless me, he lays the clothes over his head and was snoring the next minute. In the morning we found the Don just as kind to us as the day before he had been careless, and so made us eat breakfast with him, to our great content.
