I had noticed, in other foreign languages, that verbs are bred in families, and that the members of each family have certain features or resemblances that are common to that family and distinguish it from the other families the other kin, the cousins and what not.
On the road the man pulled his resolution together, and began the march with a steady gait, but there was no eagerness in it. By and by I said: "What relation were these men to you cousins?" He turned as white as his layer of charcoal would let him, and stopped, trembling. "Ah, my God, how know ye that?" "I didn't know it; it was a chance guess." "Poor lads, they are lost.
It's downright stupid; two cousins with nothing a year between them, when no doubt each of them might do very well. They're well-born, and well-looking, and clever, and all that. It's absurd, and I don't suppose it will ever come to anything." "Did you tell Walter what you thought?" "Why should I tell him?
I do not expect to find many alive, for fifteen years make many changes. My father and mother were both dead before I started, and my uncle, with whom I lived for a time, is scarce like to be alive now. Still I may find some cousins and friends I knew as a boy." "I should think you have had enough of the sea, Stephen, and you have now ample to live ashore in comfort for the rest of your life."
As she listened to these cruel remarks Pierrette's throat contracted violently with acute pain, her heart throbbed. She was forced to restrain her tears, or she was scolded for weeping and told it was an insult to the kindness of her magnanimous cousins. Rogron had found the life that suited him.
He kept the household so stirred up with his stories, recitations and continual ebullitions, which so fairly entranced his Grannie and Grandpa and the cousins, that the whole household economy was disordered. They lost their sleep, for "Jamie" held them spellbound night after night with his wonderful performances.
Nobody's spirits can keep up under such conditions; and as I ate the soaked sandwiches, I deplored the headlong courage more with each mouthful that had torn me from a warm, dry home where I was appreciated, and had brought me first to the damp tree in the damp field, and when I had finished my lunch and dessert of cold pears, was going to drag me into the midst of a circle of unprepared and astonished cousins.
"I will tell him that you are here, sir," replied the man, "but even that is against orders." I had never seen my uncle since I was a child, and could not even recollect him my cousins, or my aunt, I had never met with. In a minute, an answer was brought, requesting that I would walk into the library.
So here I sat me down, almost at the top of my fancy, to wonder if it were not folly as well! Above me soared huge white-bellied birds, cousins germain to my dreams, but alas! infinitely more sensible in that they roamed for a more sustaining nourishment than the so-called food for thought.
Bobbsey, the twins, their cousins and Dinah watched and waited to see what would happen. "You talkin' to me?" sharply demanded the mean farmer of Mr. Bobbsey. "Yes, Mr. Hardee. I asked you to wait a minute before you keep on whipping that boy. I happened to hear part of what he said, and I think he is in the right." "In th' right? What do you mean?"
