He wrote her a letter awhile ago, saying times was bad out yonder, and he was fair heart-broke to be so far away from her, and she's been queer ever since. She's wanted for everything herself, slaving and saving to get enough to fetch him home.
It was Kathleena, an' I rubbed my hot face against her cool cheek for it seemed so human of her to come an' try to console me, an' I put my arms around her neck an' kissed her silky mane an' imagined it was Kathleen's hair. "Oh, I was heart-broke an' silly.
Calling the doctor out during an interval she discussed the matter within my hearing. "Poor little thing, she's just heart-broke with the way her husband's carryin' on. I wish I could deliver him up to Mrs Bray to scald; he's one of 'em deserves it, pure an' simple! If Jim Clay had forsook me an' demeaned me like this I would have died, but he was always tenderer than a mother.
'Jimmy, I sat right down on that bank beside her and made lament. I cried like a young thing. I couldn't help it. I was just about heart-broke. It was one of them lovely warm May days, and the wind was blowing and the colts jumping around in the pastures; but I felt bowed with despair. My Antonia, that had so much good in her, had come home disgraced.
"Dear, it must be true, then," said Grandmamma, taking another pinch. "What a pity! Be sure you do not forget the Paradise pudding." "Yes, Madam. They say, Madam, the Prince was nigh heart-broke that he couldn't come on." "Ah, I dare say. Poor young gentleman!" said Mrs Newton.

Me and Cap'n Jonadab and Peter T. felt so sorry for Eddie, knowing what he had coming to him from the Duchess, that we went out to see him. He was setting on a wrecked hencoop, looking heart-broke but puzzled. "'Twas that Saltmarsh made me lose my nerve," he says.
"I say, look here, Master George, I'm 'bout heart-broke over that garden. I want to see what it's like. We all might go for a day and torment some of them weeds, and keep things from getting worse, and see what mischief the Indians did." "Yes; I should like to go and see that," I said, thoughtfully. "Should you, my lad? Then let's go." I shook my head, for I saw a lot of difficulties in the way.
"By the way, though," says my father, "it does not look as if she were heart-broke about my brother's death." And then for the first time I remembered that she had never said a word about the matter since I had met her. It was not very long before Cousin Edie was queen of West Inch, and we all her devoted subjects from my father down. She had money and to spare, though none of us knew how much.
At any rate, this woman was terribly gone on him, and her husband was heart-broke, and they always lived so happy till then that the people of the town took it up.
