I've thought them words many a time when the winds was a-howling and the seas a-raging, and it looked as if I was bound for Davy Jones' Locker before day; but I never knew that was a fair-weather prayer. But I'll say it as you ask; and I'll avow, Padre, that, for talking and praying straight to the point, you beat any preacher or parson I ever heard yet." "Preach, is it!" exclaimed Brother Bart.
He cussed away with all his might, and throwed his hat down in the mud and rode over it, and pretty soon away he went a-raging down the street again, with his gray hair a-flying.
It was a ripping distance from one end of that man's head to t'other. Often and over again he's had brain-fever a-raging in one place, and the rest of the pile didn't know anything about it didn't affect it any more than an Injun Insurrection in Arizona affects the Atlantic States.

No sooner had they tossed off their glasses than, so the story goes they fell down senseless, one and all. How long they bode so they didn't know, but when they came to themselves there was a terrible thunder-storm a-raging, and they seemed to see in the gloom a dark figure with very thin legs and a curious voot, a-standing on the ladder, and finishing their work.
As you wind up a hundred-guinea chronometer with a twopenny watch-key as by means of a dirty wooden plug you set all the waters of Versailles a-raging, and splashing, and storming in like manner, and by like humble agents, were Mrs. Catherine's tumultuous passions set going.
