"The first day you visited my cabin I told you I raised hogs, and I fried my own ham for your dinner." "Is that what you put your money in?" "Yes. And Hutter says I've done well." "Hogs!" ejaculated Carley, aghast. "My dear, are you growin' dull of comprehension?" retorted Glenn. "H-o-g-s." He spelled the word out.
"Could it have gone astray this infernal name it looks like a piece of barbed wire when it's spelled out is there another place of the same name in Mexico?" "Not in the world, sir." "I didn't think so," returned Van Lennop grimly. He continued: "I want you to telegraph the operator in Crowheart and find out positively if the message was delivered to the person to whom it was sent."
The great orator cares nothing about all this. I think of the good man, and the bad man, and the mad man, that may be among them, and can say nothing. He takes them all as one man. He sways them as one man." This, I take it, hardly spelled stage-fright.
Under the various sections of his will which bear the dates of 1829, 1832, and 1839, Lenox, or "Lennox" as it was then spelled, devised his farm, then comprising about thirty acres, to his only son, James, with his stock of horses, cattle, and farming utensils, during the term of his life and after his death, to James's heirs forever.
Jim thought if he had made a spelling-book, he would have spelled the word that way. Jim would have been a master hand at phonetics. The little girl crossed two of her fingers. That was a sign of truce in the game. "No play till we come back," said Jim. The little girl nodded and ran for her mitts of strong muslin with the thumb and finger ends out. The briars were so apt to tear your hands.
And these first desultory grapplings with the fugitive airy images that flit through the dim chambers of the brain had become with each effort more sustained and vigorous, till the phantoms were spelled, the flying ones arrested, the Immaterial seized, and clothed with Form. Gazing on his last effort, Leonard felt that there at length spoke forth the poet.
"Of course," stammered Haines, "I'd believe it if Miss Langdon says it's so." The Congressman turned toward Carolina as he spoke and fixed on her a tense look which spelled as plainly as though spoken, "It's all in your hands, my fortune yours." She slowly drew across the room. Haines could hardly conceal the turmoil of his mind.
At this first lesson in reading, Charming turned pale and trembled; the blood mounted to his cheeks, his eyes filled with tears, and he gazed at his young teacher with a look that made her start; then all at once, with a great effort, he regained his self-possession, and said, in a tremulous voice, "Pazza, that is A." And the same day and at one sitting he learned all the letters of the alphabet; at the end of the week he spelled readily, and before the month was ended he read with ease.
He was eminently illiterate; wrote bad English and spelled it still worse. He had no share of what is commonly called PARTS: that is, he had no brightness, nothing shining in his genius. He had most undoubtedly, an excellent good plain understanding with sound judgment.
"Then marry me," gasped Billy Grant. "Only for an hour or two, you know. You promised. Come on be a sport!" It was then that the Nurse walked to the table and recorded "Delirious" in the symptom column. And, though she was a Smith College girl and had taken a something or other in mathematics, she spelled it just then with two r's. Billy Grant was not in love with the Nurse.
