Buscot crept down stairs to see that all was safe, and returned almost instantly, with the very satisfactory intelligence that Chiffinch was snoring in a chair in the hall, and that the usher had probably retired to rest, as he was nowhere to be seen. Not a moment, therefore, was to be lost, and they descended the great staircase as noiselessly as possible.
The Knight smiled faintly, but as he had never seen a taxi, he could not appreciate Dorothy's remark. "Here come your beds," said the King shortly. "Tell them to take you around the corner. I can't abide snoring." "I don't snore, thank you," said Dorothy angrily, but the King had stepped into his bed and drawn the curtains tight. "We might as well go to bed, I 'spose," said the little girl.
Holdfast was about to bark, when Edward silenced him, and then advanced to where the verderer was lying; and who, having no dog with him to give notice of Edward's approach, still remained snoring with the sun shining on his face.
Sid was snoring away, apparently in the profound depths of sleep, hiding away from any Caudle lectures. He was about as sound asleep as a weasel. Breakfast passed off most charmingly without a word said by any one; and he walked round to the khan to scrutinize some figs. 'How does the lady? said Ben Hadad, sarcastically.

It was not the regulation way, but Franci did not care for that.

Tall, pale, long-eyelashed, his blasé young face barely veiled a mind that was an encyclopædia of sin, or I was much mistaken. And he and Dunn had suddenly ceased to raise Hades in the bunk house every night and developed a taste for going to bed with the hens. At least, the snoring bunk house thought so.
He slept soundly; his regular breathing indicated this. The others also slept, and Adventus's light snore, mingling with the louder snoring of the physician, showed that he too had ceased to watch.

She watched alone.
If you dream you surely don't see the cupboard and the clothes rack and the washstand and the wall, and you don't hear the clock ticking and father snoring downstairs and the wind howling in the pines outside. It was all there as usual, and I was lying in my bed as usual. But the room was full of a bright light. That was because the Holy Virgin was there.
