Generally he took only a short nap , but on this occasion he did not wake up till five o'clock , when he was much surprised to find himself enveloped in a grey wrapper , and on a chair by his side a basin of gruel .

He remembered that two boys had laughed at him when he jumped lightly over the doorstep outside the Brothers Egeland 's store , and that he had felt much inclined to complain of them to the police .
