Burying was a trade, and wherefore should not one discreetly be cheerful at one's trade? In undertaking there were many miles to trudge with coffins in a week, and the fixed, sad, sympathetic look long custom had stereotyped was wearisome to the face as a cast of plaster-of-paris.

Safer and sweeter do I deem the enjoyment of the woods.
She informed him that something was wrong with Edward; she could not tell what. She spoke of him languidly, as if his letters contained wearisome trifling. "He strains to be Frenchy," she said. "It may be a good compliment for them to receive: it's a bad one for him to pay." "Alcibiades is not the best of models," murmured Sir William. "He doesn't mention Miss Gosling." "Oh dear, yes.
