All went right, and the groom lay snoring with his hand upon the golden saddle.
This so alarmed him, that he could not forbear entering the room; where he found the good man in the bed, in a sweet composed sleep, and his nurse snoring in the above mentioned hearty manner, at the bed's feet.
The room inside was so dark, that at first they could make out nothing; but they could hear a noise --a slow deep regular snoring grunt.
