Narrator: Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,
Homer: Sir,
Narrator: said I,
Homer: or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore;
But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping,
And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door,
That I scarce was sure I heard you

Homer: [throws open the door and covers his eyes]
Bart: [impatiently] This better be good.
Homer: [peeks through his fingers]
Narrator: Darkness there and
nothing more.
Homer: Huh?
