There are few holidays within an hospital. Physical suffering is not to be mitigated by a gala day; the pressure of disease cannot be lightened by jollity and merry-making. One New Year's Eve, when the world outside our walls was glad of heart, a poor shattered form was borne into the accident ward.
She wondered if he remembered the kiss that had passed between them on new year's eve the words that had been spoken in the dairy on new year's day; the tones, the looks, that had accompanied those words. But all she said was 'I didn't think to see yo'. I thought yo'd ha' sailed.
"Good heavens!" cried Miss Lady aghast. "Of course, about New Year's, I began to wobble, but mother had me take massage and electricity and kept me going until Lent. After that I collapsed until summer. Then we went to White Sulphur, where the Dillinghams have a cottage, I had to lie down every afternoon, but I was always able to be up for the dances."
It has not, neither can it; but it has done just enough to lay the foundation of its own next year's ruin.
"Well may you laugh, ye children of the devil!" said the scout, seating himself on a projection of the rock, and suffering his gun to fall neglected at his feet, "for the three quickest and truest rifles in these woods are no better than so many stalks of mullein, or the last year's horns of a buck!"
Richard punished heavily a massacre of the Jews at York, and organized a mixed court of Jews and Christians for the registration of their contracts. John suffered none to plunder them save himself, though he once wrested from them a sum equal to a year's revenue of his realm.

The three regiments in garrison sent their bands to help our send-off. A very striking feature of our departure was the presence of a large number of fair maidens.
Suppose that all of last year's corn had been shipped to Europe; it would have required over four thousand express steamers of 18,000 tons register to deliver it. Suppose that the year's wheat had all been sent to save the Far East from a great famine: the largest fleet in the world, with its four hundred vessels of all sizes, would have required fifteen round trips to move it.
We can be there and back in an hour if we wanted to, and Helen would be so jolly glad, don't you think?" Constance smiled to herself. "We haven't much money now, Johnny," she said. "Last year's hops were awful!" "They are going to be ripping this year. I've got that blight down all right," he said cheerily. "Yes, dear; well, if you think " She hesitated.
Hugo had seen much for a five year's old boy; but he longed to see more. He had heard stories of wood-goblins, of fairies and nixies, and of the busy dwarfs who live underground. He thirsted for adventure. Now I must tell you that just about this time the news had come from Elhalten that a child had been lost from the village, a dear little girl of four years.
