Jabez grew quite moped during the weeks that followed, for he was not even allowed to come into the kitchen for a comforting cup of tea as of old. "And if anybody can't have a bit of a clack sometimes," groaned poor Jabez, "nor a cup of tea neither, why he might so well be dumb to once. I've ackshally got to talk to the 'orses and the cat to keep my powers of speech from leaving me."
Why have you so long left me unacknowledged?" asked 'Lena. Mr. Graham groaned bitterly. The hardest part was yet to come, but he met it manfully, telling her the whole story, sparing not himself in the least, and ending by asking if, after all this, she could forgive and love him as her father.
In a very short time the odious fellow appeared again, strolling, absolutely strolling back, his hat now tilted a little on one side, with an air of leisure and satisfaction. Mrs Fyne groaned not only in the spirit, at this sight, but in the flesh, audibly; and asked her husband what it might mean. Fyne naturally couldn't say.

"They'll sell my Benny," groaned Tulee; "and then I shall never see him again." "I have no doubt Mr. King will obtain your children," replied Mr.
Then the Master spoke to the Lightning, and with one swift blow the Lightning cleft the Prairie to the heart.

"The Lord only knows where we'll get it," she groaned within herself. Yes, He knew. A rap at the door, and little David ran down to find the cause. "Oh, mammy," he said, "Mrs. Henderson sent it see! see!"

"The most of them were cast into the pit of waters, lord, there to be hidden for ever. There were three hide sacks full." "Oh, heavens!" groaned Leonard when Juanna had translated this. "Otter, you have something to answer for!"
What on earth does 'awfully clever' mean? For God's sake try to get at him. Don't let him suffer by our arrangement. Speak of him, you know, if you can, as should have spoken of him."
