"That depends," said Caleb, turning his head on one side and lowering his voice, with the air of a man who felt himself to be saying something deeply religious. "You must be sure of two things: you must love your work, and not be always looking over the edge of it, wanting your play to begin.
In hunting about the men had discovered a coil of rope and some blocks, which had evidently been used for lowering the casks into the vault. The seamen were not long in fitting up a tackle to hoist them out. While one of the men was sent off as proposed, the rest worked away with a will. In a short time the chief contents of the vault were hoisted up and rolled outside.
"Pain-killer or lime-juice?" he enquired in an insinuating voice. "What?" said Shock. "Pain-killer or lime-juice," winking and lowering his voice to a confidential tone. "Well, as I haven't got any pain I guess I'll take a little lime-juice," replied Shock.
She knelt down and looked over; then she turned, still on her knees, and clasped her right hand round his wrist while he held hers in his strong grip.

His head almost reached the overhanging straw thatch. "What is the alarm, my men?" "Your excellency," the subaltern answered, "it was nothing but a dog. It came down from Montmorenci, and some of the men shot it." "Le Moyne de Sainte-Hélène," declared Frontenac, lowering his plumed hat, "has just died for New France." Gaspard stayed out on his river front until he felt half frozen.
I crawled into the cabin, into which the rain beat in great fury and flowed out again in a small river. My companion sat near me, lowering and silent. For two hours, the tornado lasted without interruption; the sun had set, and the darkness was opaque. It was impossible to move against the force of the wind and the deluge of water which descended.
