Sir, returned Mrs. Sparsit, I cannot say that i have heard him precisely snore, and therefore must not make that statement. But on winter evenings, when he has fallen asleep at his table, I have heard him, what I should prefer to describe as partially choke. I have heard him on such occasions produce sounds of a nature similar to what may be heard in dutch clocks. Not, said Mrs. Sparsit, with a lofty sense of giving strict evidence, That I would convey any imputation on his moral character. Far from it. ✨ Charles Dickens Hard Times, W. W. Norton & Company
