It looks like:
"Such a lot of disturbance, just at my best time for sleeping." (I had figured that out already yesterday) but I don't know who said it... I thought it might be Psamathos, but I couldn't find the quote (yet)

You have the quote right, the actual speaker as well. Finding it is rather tricky, I know; it's a quote within a quote. Do you want to find the exact source, or is having found the correct answer enough for you?

Now you've confirmed that the speaker is Psamathos, I could find the actual quote:
It's the Man in the Moon quoting from a letter from Psamathos. He complains that Artaxerxes had dug him out of the sand in the middle of the afternoon: "Such a lot of disturbance, just at my best time for sleeping, and all about a wretched little dog." Here comes the next challenge: "---/ ---/ --/ -/ ------/!" (.....) "---/, ---/, -----/ --/ -/ -----/ --/ ---/ -----/: -/ -----/ ----/ -------/ --/ --/, -------/ --/, ----/ --/ ---------/ -'--/ ---------/."

A good start, but too little evidence so far; to quote the parson, "A little closer inspection will be required."
S please

I've found it! That telltale word included neither a P nor an A, so by elimination, I found that it had to be "scent"! And that is a rare word in the minor works.

I knew you'd get it now!
(I picked this quote because of the flower-scents of spring right now.)
