"But but, say " stammered the boy, glancing from the elegant figure in the chair around the luxurious room and back again, "but you're a a " "Just a poor, disconsolate, lonely er guy!" "What!" cried Spike, staring around him again, "with all this? Oh, yes, you're homeless and starving, you are I don't think!" "Is it a go?" "But say whatcher want to go wi' me for? What's yer game? Put me wise."
"Those muckers are away," Fred told himself, as he watched the war canoe go in at the hotel float. "Now, if I have half as much ingenuity as I sometimes think I have, I believe I can cut short their stay here by rendering that cheap crowd homeless -and foodless!" Fred studied the now distant canoe, then glanced carefully about the camp.
Fortified posts were established and garrisons left there and at Stafford. Some things make us suspect that a large district on this side of England was treated as northern Yorkshire had been, and homeless fugitives in crowds driven forth to die of hunger. The patience which pardoned the faithlessness of Edwin and Waltheof was not called for in dealing with smaller men.
At the time of Mary Louise's call funds were very low, so low that it seemed as though the society might have to close its hospitable doors to the homeless waifs and the present inmates be parceled out to the various orphan asylums. The board was to meet that very day. Dr. Weston always dreaded a board meeting.
She really began to hope she had found a nest for her poor little homeless bird that was me, you understand especially when Mr. Timbs finished up by saying that the rent was only twelve pounds a year, one pound a month. And she had made up her mind to give as much as twenty pounds if she could find nothing nice and healthy for less.
After a little, he said, "I think my mother must be very lonely in Venice, when she reads of those who have been made homeless in Messina." Mrs. Sprague looked at him wisely and nodded her head. "Edith and I must go home to America," she said. "Our friends will be worried about us, and will fear for our safety, after this terrible earthquake." So they began to plan for leaving Rome at once.
He thought of himself as a homeless outcast, without love, friendless, fighting an eternal fight for people whom he did not know, and very few of whom indeed knew him even by name. A barking of the dogs brought several servants to the door. On seeing the red-shirted soldiers, their rifles across the pommels of their saddles, the servants hastily ran back and proceeded to bar the doors and windows.
To him who looks, day after day, on this astonishing natural wall, stretching, without visible gap, for nearly three hundred miles, it is easy to see why France not only is, but must be, a different world from Spain. Even human thought cannot, to any useful extent, fly over that great wall of homeless rock and snow.
The bakery was one of the few buildings that had been miraculously spared. He drew out his bread it had been well baked and distributed it to the hungry, glad to have something in this hour of need. It was summer and warm, and the homeless dropped down on the grass, or in the military gardens, and passed a strange night. The next morning they saw how complete the destruction had been.
My first relation with Quebec was in acting as Honorary Secretary to a Committee in Manchester, which raised 7,500l. by subscription, and sent it out in money and goods to relieve the people, houseless and ruined by the great Quebec fires of May and July, 1845, when 3,015 houses were burnt down, and thousands of people were made homeless, and were starving. I also visited the city in 1851.
