"Who is he?" asked Glooskap. "It is the mighty Wasis. But leave him in peace. Otherwise you will be in sore trouble." Now the Indian chief had never married. He knew nothing of children and their ways. But he thought, as is the manner of such, that he knew everything. So he knelt on one knee, held out a hand, and smiling sweetly, said, "Baby, come to me!" Wasis smiled, but did not stir.
It would make Ogilvy of Glenquharity sing small at last! His loons have carried the Blackadder for the last seven years without a break. The Hugh Blackadder Mortification, the bequest is called, and, 'deed, it has been a sore mortification to me!" Calming down, he told her the story of the bequest.
At every turn we eagerly hoped to meet the hand-car, but it never came, and we jolted on from tie to tie for eleven weary miles, reaching Cowan after midnight, exhausted and sore in every muscle from frequent falls on the rough, unballasted road-bed. Inquiry. developed that the car had been well manned, and started to us as ordered, and nobody could account for its non-arrival.
Rosa "had out" her fit of crying when he went away, betaking herself to her chamber and locking the door that her aunt might not surprise her while the traces of tears disfigured her cheeks.

Not one!
But have you ever thought that this thing may end in sore disaster? Are we doing right? Is the man worthy our friendship and our adherence?" "Ah, dear madame, convictions, principles, truth, they lead to good ends somewhere. I have a letter here from Monsieur Valmond. It breathes noble things; it has humour, too ah, yes, so quaint!
With Dorothy the time passed slowly and painfully along. Her position had not improved one whit, and she was wearied of the life of restraint and imprisonment to which she was subjected. Her fingers were sore and ached again with the continual tenter-stitching she had to perform, and her whole nature revolted at the system of espionage which Lady Vernon and Sir Edward Stanley had set upon her.
I am not worthy to be likened to that holy man of old, for whose sake the Lord well nigh saved Sodom, nor am I placed in so sore a strait. You spoke of nothing worse than kissing.

For this same castle, an ye speed well, must needs be yours; for our King Hermance let make this castle for the love of the two traitors, and so we kept it with strong hand, and therefore full sore are we threated. Wot ye what ye shall do, said Sir Palomides; whatsomever come of me, look ye keep well this castle.
