Hang Far was at his bedside many hours each day. Alice often found them chatting animatedly. "When I get plenty well, we mally," Po informed her. "Maybeso go back to China. What you say, Missee Alice?" "I think you'd better stay with me," she countered. "As for Hang Far, we'll find room for her." She smiled dolefully. "I'm getting to be an old lady, Po Lun ... I need more help in the house."
From hence Lolonois commanded them to be brought up, one by one, and in this order caused their heads to be struck off: among the rest came up the negro, designed to be the pirates' executioner; this fellow implored mercy at his hands very dolefully, telling Lolonois he was constituted hangman of that ship, and if he would spare him, he would tell him faithfully all that he should desire.
If we were here for a month, on invitation, we'd expect to have a bang-up time." "But this is so different," said Patty, dolefully. "A house party would mean all kinds of gaiety and fun.

"I have no papa, no mamma," said the boy, dolefully and with quivering lips. "Poor boy!
"But if I die before I am rich?" said Wenceslas dolefully. "Die!" cried she. "Oh, I will not let you die.
