To the right tall black cliffs towered against the night sky, to the left the stars twinkled in the ripples of the deep and wide Straits. Roy pulled like a machine, but the weight of water made his efforts almost useless. The boat sogged slowly forward like a dead thing. 'She won't last another five minutes, said Ken. 'And there's no landing place, old chap. We're right up against it.
T'other night a neighbor of mine was a walkin hum with me and we went past the house of an old Scothman, who gits drunk every time he ken git trusted, or treated or ken git change enough fur tu buy the whiskey, and his wife ain't no better than he is.
That's all, I don't hate the boys. I don't pity 'em. But I don't love 'em. They're just part of a machine to cut lumber, and it don't matter a hoot in hell to me what they are, or who they are, or what becomes of 'em. I ain't shepherdin' souls like that guy. It ain't in me, anyway. I just got to make good so that some day I ken quit these cursed forests and live easy the way I'd fancy.
Deil a word ye'll say that will gar him ken your kittle sex better than he kens them already; and another thing is, that if ye dinna speak o' breaking the Tolbooth, deil a word will I tell ower, either to do ye good or ill."

Had that been stronger, he would have been able to resist temptation.
The ordinary soldier's wife, good, straight, heroic soul, I know as well and and profoundly admire as I do the ordinary wife of a brother-officer, and I could tell you what she thinks and feels in her own language. But the class whence Mrs. Tufton proceeded is out of my social ken.
'We've got to bunk like blazes if we want to save our skins. Ken was standing, looking half dazed. His rifle was on the ground, and he was holding his left arm with his right hand. 'Are you hurt, Ken? asked Roy, and there was real concern in his voice. The two had known one another less than a week, yet each had come to respect and like the other. 'No. I'm not hit.
If, therefore, there be any direct evidence of the existence of Emancipation, do thou, speak of it to me. We are desirous of attaining to Emancipation. Indeed, we wish to attain to That which is auspicious, bodiless, not subject to decrepitude, eternal beyond the ken of the senses, and having nothing superior to it. Thou takest those indications in the way in which they should be taken.
Redgauntlet is sometimes, he said, 'called Herries of Birrenswork; perhaps you may know him under that name. 'Friend, you are uncivil, answered Mr. Trumbull; 'honest men have enough to do to keep one name undefiled. I ken nothing about those who have two. Good even to you, friend.
