There's holes through and through of 'em, and it's most desp'rate sloppy out of doors this mornin'." Mrs. Home took the little worn-out shoes in her hand; she saw at a glance that they were quite past mending. "Leave them here, Anne," she said. "You are right, he cannot wear these again. I will go out at once and buy him another pair."
Proceeded towards the gap in Hanson range, and camped near one of the large water holes. It is very cloudy. Sunday, 19th August, Gap in the Hanson Range.
Those killed in battle outside the city had been carried in and buried in shallow holes, or probably I would be more correct in saying, about half covered with earth and left that way for dogs to scratch up and pull about by the arms and legs. I have seen dead Filipinos carried out of the hospital, thrown on carts and carried to the burying ground and handled like dead hogs.
At the next ditch he put out his hand and helped her across. They had no lamp. By the light of the snow she watched his blue-clad legs as they sank and rose; her own sinking and rising in the holes he left for her, the buffets of wind un-steadying her at every step. She followed him.
It was a painful thing to remember his dusty rustiness of the night before, the awful Carlow cut of his coat, and his formless black cravat; the same felt hat he wore again to-night, perforce, but it was brushed brushed almost to holes in spots, and somehow he had added a touch of shape to it.
He asked me very bravely why God or Brigham Young had not sent us some food or blankets.

The trail to the Landing is considered something of a road up North; and the natives are apt to stare pityingly at the effeminate stranger who complains of the holes. It is something of a road compared to what comes after; but Natalie, hitherto accustomed to cushions and springs in her drives, could not conceive of anything worse.
It is this name that He uses when He says: 'Foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man hath not where to lay His head. The use of the term there is very significant and profound; He contrasts His homelessness, not with the homes of men that dwell in palaces, but with the homes of the inferior creatures.
There were so many holes to be filled that the Beavers worked all night long. And in spite of all their efforts they saw that even then a few leaks would have to go unmended. But they did not get snappish nor lose their tempers. They were not like Timothy Turtle.
