She would have gone back, but one of the reasons would have been because she thought it "right" because it was what the better world did! But now ah! now she was going unhampered by that compulsion which galls even the best. She was free to stay away, but of her own glad, loyal will she was going back to the husband she had treated unjustly, judged by too narrow a standard.

I shall try to extract good out of your severity: and besides, though I am now sure you are a just, discriminating man, yet, being mortal, you must be fallible; and if any part of your censure galls me too keenly to the quick gives me deadly pain I shall for the present disbelieve it, and put it quite aside, till such time as I feel able to receive it without torture.

Its first discoverers, of course, were not bound to see that a pitch lake of ninety-nine acres was no more wonderful than any of the little pitch wells 'spues' or 'galls, as we should call them in Hampshire a yard across; or any one of the tiny veins and lumps of pitch which abound in the surrounding forests; and no less wonderful than if it had covered ninety-nine thousand acres instead of ninety- nine.

There are times when I think I hate him. What I have endured since I have been here is incredible! Everything galls me, irritates me.

Take of good whiskey 10 galls., water 10 galls., white sugar 10 lbs., oil of peppermint 1 oz., flour 1 oz., burned sugar 1/2 lb. to colour, alcohol 1 pint; put the oil of peppermint in the alcohol, then with this work the flour well, add the burned sugar, work again, and mix all the ingredients together; let them stand a week and they are ready for use.

"You talk of your troubles as if you were very heavily burdened; and yet, for the life of me, I cannot see what you have to complain of," Gilbert said wonderingly. "Of course not. That is always the case with one's friends even the best of them. It's only the man who wears the shoe that knows why it pinches and galls him. But what have you been doing since I saw you last?"

VIRGINIAN POKEWEED. The leaves and berries produce a beautiful rose-colour, but it is very fugacious. PRUNUS domestica. PLUM. The bark is used by the country people to dye cloth yellow. PYRUS Malus.
