"But surely," says Blifil, "when she hears of this murder which he hath committed, if the law should spare his life " "What's that?" cries Western. "Murder! hath he committed a murder, and is there any hopes of seeing him hanged? Tol de rol, tol lol de rol." Here he fell a singing and capering about the room. "Child," says Allworthy, "this unhappy passion of yours distresses me beyond measure.

He knelt up, with his eyes on her face and an air of uncertain determination, like a robin's on a doorstep, and plumped his elbows into her lap with a little gasp at his own audacity. "Rol!" exclaimed his aunt; but, "Oh, let him!" said White Fell, smiling and stroking his head; and Rol stayed.
