I CREPT to their doors and listened; they was snoring.

So I tiptoed along, and got down stairs all right.

There warn't a sound anywheres.

I peeped through a crack of the dining-room door, and see the men that was watching the corpse all sound asleep on their chairs.

The door was open into the parlor, where the corpse was laying, and there was a candle in both rooms.
