What more do you ask of life? What else can it g-g-give?" "It does not make me happy! I shall never be happy until I have a home," she said, still sobbing, and trying to conceal the cause of her grief from herself as well as from her husband.

Don't you see we're gone? Keep her nose up! K-e-e-p it u-u-u-p-p!
"Well, if there is, I haven't had a squint of 'em," Steve took occasion to remark, before the one addressed could reply. "S-s-somebody g-g-give 'em a hail!" said Toby, sensibly. So Max immediately called out: "Hello there!" No response followed.
