He can swim it, sure. But alack! it's when he gets there his trouble will be, when none can warn him. Look how the waves are lashing the cliff; and mark the white water beyond!

For a place in some ways so near to civilization, the hills beyond the river woods abound in fox holes, and David has conducted some good runs on his own account, it seems; but this time alack! alack! he came limping slowly home, footsore and bedraggled, followed by his pupils and bearing a huge dead cat of the half-wild tribe that, born in a barn and having no owner, takes to a prowling life in the woods.
"Dame," said Gerard, "this is wonderful." "What? Oh! no, no, that is no wonder at all. Why, I have been here all my life; and reading faces is the first thing a girl picks up in an inn." Marion. "And frying eggs the second; no, telling lies; frying eggs is the third, though." The Mistress. "And holding her tongue the last, and modesty the day after never at all." Marion. "Alack!

Teresa waited patiently, then calmly brought this discursive lady back to the point: "Would she be so kind as go with this good youth to the friar and speak for him?" "Alack! how can I leave my shop? And what need? His door is aye open to writers, and painters, and scholars, and all such cattle.
Meadows, "you couldn't please us better than to sing us a song. You haven't practiced together for a long time." The other children looked at one another in a shamefaced way, and then, without a word of objection or explanation, they began to sing as with one voice, the most plaintive song that ever was heard. It may be called: It's oh! and it's ah! It's alack! and alas!
God help the poor fellow! he has been ill-advised to go abroad, but now returns to stand the storm old debts, it seems, with principal and interest accumulated, and all the items which load a falling man. And wife such a good and kind creature, and children. Alack! alack! I sought out his solicitor.
Now there is nothing in the world Peter Rabbit loves more than a secret. But he cannot keep one to save him. No, Sir, Peter Rabbit can no more keep a secret than he can fly. He means to. His intentions are the very best in the world, but Alas! alack! poor Peter's tongue Is very, very loosely hung. And so, because he MUST talk and WILL talk every chance he gets, he cannot keep a secret.
And Elsie had seemed she sadly remembered to love her, to trust her till this tragic breakdown.

Alack!
As they left the Bush Wagtail they could hear him singing this song, which shows what a merry, happy fellow he is: Click-i-ti, click-i-ti-clack! Clack! clack! clack! clack! Who could cry in such weather, 'alack! With a sky so blue, and a sun so bright, Sing 'winter, winter, winter is back! Sportive in flight, chatter delight, Click-i-ti, click-i-ti-clack!
But hath anger at any time availed to move thee to do any manslaughter or to bespeak any one unseemly or do any other unright? 'Alack, sir, answered the sick man, 'you, who seem to me a man of God, how can you say such words?
