In a few moments everything was quiet again, our old woman had renewed her snoring, and then the new-comer, repressing her anguish as best she could, slid kneeling to the floor. It was then, all sleep gone for that night, I reached out my hand and touched the sleeve of her black dress. From that moment we became friends.
The worst feature of the affair was that every one in the two villages suddenly and contemporaneously wanted molasses, so that Cephas spent the afternoon reviewing his misery by continually turning the tap and drawing off the fatal liquid. Then, too, every inquisitive boy in the neighborhood came to the back of the store to view the operation, exclaiming: "What makes the floor so wet?
And there is the prayer, and the meeting, and kind influence every night, that helps to keep us straight. We would like a better place, but if you cannot find us one we would rather stop in the Shelter and sleep on the floor, as we have been doing, than go to something more complete, get into bad company, and so fall back again to where we were before."
And she lay at his feet until the morning. And she rose up before one could know another. And he said, "Let it not be known that a woman came into the floor."

She went to the window and yelled, on observing that it was far too high to leap.
There was that in his bearing which suggested a will rather than necessity to labour. "Here is your room, young man," said Mrs. Locke. It was a large, rather neglected chamber, at the end of a long passage on the second floor the very room out of which one midnight he had been borne in terror, twenty years before, by the woman he called his mother.
But the feature in the Pali scriptures which is most prominent and most tiresome to the unsympathetic reader is the repetition of words, sentences and whole paragraphs. This is partly the result of grammar or at least of style. The simplicity of Pali syntax and the small use made of dependent sentences, lead to the regular alignment of similar phrases side by side like boards in a floor.
