"If you remember your Latin you will know that this word is formed from two others which mean 'water' and 'to lead. In some places the aqueduct was laid upon the ground, but here there was a valley to be crossed, as you see, and the arches formed a bridge over which the pipe was laid."
He reflected, indeed, that under no imaginable circumstances could his present be touched or disturbed by the true explanation of the tragedy, should it ever be found, and he was content to let the tide of years flow silently over the place those terrible deeds held in his own life. It is no wonder that he was happy now, since all his hopes were attained and all his desires satisfied.

The latter persuaded Ida to go downstairs for a while, and the child, whose tears had begun to flow, left the room, sobbing in anguish. "Ain't you better then?" asked the woman, with an apparent effort to speak in a sympathetic tone which did not come easily to her.
I said 'em," my uncle confessed. Aunt Deel turned to me and said: "Bart, you go right down to the barn and bring me a strap ayes! you bring me a strap right away." I walked slowly toward the barn.
