As he passed the pen the startled sheep huddled into a far corner, bleating plaintively, and the brindle cow looked after him with soft, persuasive eyes. When he had attached the clanking chains of the plough harness to the single-tree, he caught up the ropes which served for reins and set out laboriously over the crumbling earth, which yielded beneath his feet and made walking difficult.
Lavendar's stern lip trembled with anxiety. "What?" "I chastised him; a little." "You what?" Benjamin Wright nodded; the wrinkled pouches under his eyes grew dully red. "My God!" he said plaintively; "think of that a hasty moment! Thirty-two years; my God! I spanked him." Dr. Lavendar opened his lips to speak, but found no words. "And he was offended! Offended?

Demetrio, looking pale and sallow, motioned for silence. Then, plaintively: "That'll do. Bring in the student." Luis Cervantes entered.

"It ain't too late," Daylight replied. "But it's a twenty-mile walk there and back." "I'll stake it for you to-morrow when I go up," Daylight offered. "Then you do the same as Johnny.

"Je vais ou va toute chose Ou va la feuille de rose Et la feuille de laurier," sang Anne Mie plaintively. A great sob broke from Juliette's aching heart. The misery of it all was more than she could bear. Ah, pity her if you can!
