Selwyn and Miss Erroll, strolling together out of the nursery and down the stairs, fell unconsciously into the amiable exchange of badinage again; she taunting him with his undignified behaviour, he retorting in kind. "Anyway that was a perfectly dreadful verse you taught Billy," she concluded. "Not as dreadful as the chorus," he remarked, wincing.
The noonday sun was blazing right overhead, and the muddy water running all over slippered feet and dainty dresses. How long we stayed praying for rescue, yet wincing already at the laugh that would come with it, I shall never know. It seemed like a day before the welcome boat and the "Ha, ha!" of H. and Max were heard. The confinement tells severely on all the animal life about us.
Upon the fierce pangs of her mind, flayed and stabbed by the boy's words, this physical pain of which she had just become conscious, was like some soothing lotion.

"When will the Dutchy be back, boss?" asked the woman, with a knowing look.
'I will see them, Mr. Fishwick answered, wincing at the note of pain in her voice. 'I I was sent for this morning, for twelve o'clock. It is a quarter to eleven now. She looked at him, startled, a spot of red in each cheek. 'We must go away, she said hurriedly, 'while we have money. Can we do better than return to Oxford?
On the third day of Christmas he gave to her the reverberating cacophony of country music, torturing an already queasy stomach that had just experienced car-sickness earlier that afternoon. From the front row of the concert she managed to smile without wincing noticeably from this howling through nostrils via song.
A little murmur, as of people drawing together with whispers; a little soft scuffing of cautiously shifted feet on the carpet, followed the question. Ollie shrank back, as if wincing from pain.

Her breath came back in measured flow to her lips, moist and refreshing.
Methinks they will soon be gone, and then I can draw my breath in peace." Paul listened in amaze. It was an effort to think of moving again tonight, so weary and worn and suffering was he; but anything was better than remaining behind in the power of these terrible men, and he rose slowly to his feet, though wincing with every movement.
