"No, no; I have run away from the mother, and the father, seven hungry children, Manny Panny, and Henny Penny. I'll run away from you too, Cocky Locky," said the pancake, and it rolled and rolled as fast as it could. Bye and bye it met a duck. "Good-day, pancake," said the duck. "The same to you, Ducky Lucky." "Pancake, dear, don't roll away so fast; bide a bit and let me eat you up."
"This world must have her women quite as much as her men. It is shoulder to shoulder, heart to heart, business." The clamour in the meadow arose above our voices and brought us back to the foxes. "There goes another!" I said, the tears beginning to roll again. "It is heathenish business," said mother. "I don't blame you!
Nevertheless, although born beneath a heart full of grief, Frederick was a healthy, pretty child who grew strong in the fresh air. His father loved him dearly, never came home without bringing him a roll or something of that sort, and it was even thought he had become more temperate since the birth of the boy; at least the noise in the house decreased.

Though my senses failed to perceive the slightest breath of a breeze, the fog was brewing and whirling, and huge spheres seemed to be forming in it, and to roll forward, slowly, and sometimes to recede, as if they had encountered an obstacle and rebounded clumsily.

It never notices that the reason why the rope does not unwind easily is because one strand is a world too large and another a world too small, and so it sticks where it ought to roll, and rolls where it ought to stick.
Louise, while putting on her hat and getting her roll of music she gave lessons now upon the piano in boarding-schools was much interested in Madame Roger's imposing beauty.
"Yes, sir; that old outlaw will eat soup or any soft food with almost no strategy at all." As we seemed to be getting nowhere I meanly rolled the lady a cigarette. She hates to stop knitting to roll one, but she will stop to light it. She stopped now, and as I held the match for her I said quite frankly that it had become necessary for me to be told the whole thing from start to finish.
Beresford has been cabled for, and must return to America at once on important business. He persuaded me that the Atlantic is an ower large body of water to roll between two lovers, and I agreed with all my heart. A wedding was arranged, mostly by telegraph, in six hours.
