"And there were n't a dozen handkerchiefs, I tell you," groaned Margaret, "except the cotton ones I sent to Mary's two girls, Jennie and Carrie, six to each.

"You'll go with them quietly, won't you?" he asked, giving the man a kick in the side with the toe of his wooden shoe. "Oh dear! Oh dear!" groaned Per Olsen. "What's he done?" asked Lasse.
Gregory thought she had no pain, she never groaned; only sometimes, when the light was near her, he thought he could see contractions about her lips and eyebrows.
