"What road?" the clerk inquired. "All points South," said Noble. He placed the time-table, still folded, in his pocket, rested an elbow on the brass apron of the window, and would have given himself up to reflections, though urged to move away.
When, therefore, Mark confirmed the report, and was led on, by degrees, to repeat Gilbert's own words, Sally rushed out into the kitchen with a vehemence which left half her apron hanging on the door-handle, torn off from top to bottom in her whirling flight, and announced the fact to her mother. Joe, who was present, immediately cried out, "O, Sally! now I may tell about Mark, mayn't I?"
"There's Passen," said one woman to another, behind the corner of her apron, within Colville's hearing. "It takes a deal to bring him out o' doors nowadays, and little Sep and Miss Miriam." Dormer Colville heard the words. And he heard something unspoken in the pause before the mention of the last name.

"Ah, Mr. Brimblecombe!" said the host, bustling out with knife and apron to cool himself in the passage. "Here are doings! Nine gentlemen to supper!"
They went to a lodging-house together, but the society there was dreadful. His work lasted a few weeks, when he was again taken ill, lost his job, and spent all their money.

"Mercy on us, this will never do," thought Jo, adding aloud, "Go and sing to me. I'm dying for some music, and always like yours." "I'd rather stay here, thank you." "Well, you can't, there isn't room.

"Aye," said Mary, without looking up, "aye, an yer've been gettin married. I knew as yer didn't mean nothin onkind." Then she stopped again till suddenly, with a furtive gesture, she raised her apron, and drew it across her eyes, which had the look of perennial tears.

"Shouldn't I wear a nurse's cap and apron?" I remarks as I grabs my hat. For, honest, so far as I've ever seen, this young Hollister was a nice, quiet, peaceable chap, with all the earmarks of a perfect gent.
