Towards morning I slept sleep and was wakened waken by the continuous knocking knock at my door , so I guess I must have been sleeping soundly then .

When the people observed observe I was quiet , they discharged no more arrows ; but , by the noise noise I heard hear , I knew know their numbers increased increase ; and about four yards from me , over against my right ear , I heard hear a knocking knock for above an hour , like that of people at work ; when turning turn my head that way , as well as the pegs and strings would permit me , I saw see a stage erected erect about a foot and a half from the ground , capable of holding four of the inhabitants , with two or three ladders to mount it : from whence one of them , who seemed to be a person of quality , made me a long speech speech , whereof I understood not one syllable .

After knocking knock at his aunt ’s door and learning learn that she was indisposed , he had taken take a walk about the town , and then he had come come in to his breakfast breakfast .
