Pa put his hand on my head and said: "Mother, Hennery will go with me, to see that I do not get into any trouble as a circus financier and general manager of the menagerie and Wild West aggregation, and hippodrome, in the great three-ring circus, and you can stay home and give us absent treatment for what ails us, and pack the money I shall send you in bales with a hay press, and put it in cold storage till we come back in the fall.
But the silence was a little awkward. Tom broke it: "Huck's got money. Maybe you don't believe it, but he's got lots of it. Oh, you needn't smile I reckon I can show you. You just wait a minute." Tom ran out of doors. The company looked at each other with a perplexed interest and inquiringly at Huck, who was tongue-tied. "Sid, what ails Tom?" said Aunt Polly.
Forest King had never failed its master hitherto, and Bertie would have been saved by his faithful steed, but for the fact that a blackguardly turf welcher doctored the horse's mouth, and Forest King was beaten, and couldn't finish the course. "Something ails King," said Cecil calmly, "he is fairly knocked off his legs. Some vet must look to him; ridden a yard further he will fall."
"I'll come back occasionally to fill it," I answered. "Meanwhile there are cards awaiting all of you at the Metropolitan or the Army and Navy." "Then you don't look for an early assignment to the White Elephant across the Pacific?" inquired Courtney. "Good Lord!" exclaimed Hastings, "did you apply for the Philippines?" "What ails them?"

We have clothing befitting, when we choose to wear it; we were schooled in Albany; we are people of quality, like the other patroons; we lack nothing for servants or tenants what ails them all, to nudge and stare and grin when we pass?" "Mr. Livingston says our deportment shocks all," murmured Cecile. "The Schuylers will have none of us," added Harry, plaintively "and I admire them, too."
After reading my letters I wept till every atom of my body writhed with agonized emotion. I was aroused by Mrs M'Swat hammering at my door and inquiring: "What ails ye, child? Did ye git bad noos from home?" I recovered myself as by a miracle, and replied, no; that I was merely a little homesick, and would be out presently.

I am but a sinful being; but I could not bear the thought in my heart to allow even the worst sinner to burn for ever.
Boone goes 'n' drops a nickel down the chute, but she don't put it in the right side 'n' it trickles down into the box. When Orphy gets the car started after he's back, he turns 'round 'n' gives a sad look at the nickel in the box. "'Stung! says Peewee, 'n' I think he's goin' to fall off the car.
