"A slim girl, somewhat under the common size of the country, and overburdened with a curtain of black hair; and a sullen, brooding girl who says little, and that nakedly and askance; and in a pale face two grey eyes a-burning."

Here we waited for the tide, and had the pleasure of surveying the face of the country, the soil of which, at this season, exactly resembles an old brick-kiln, or a field where the green sward is pared up and set a-burning, or rather a smoking, in little heaps to manure the land.
"Look'ee, comrade," said he, tapping the worn covers with bony finger, "the Bible is a mighty fine book to fight by; to stir up a man for battle, murder or sudden death it hath no equal and for keeping his hate agin his enemies ever a-burning, there is no book written or ever will be " "You talk blasphemy!" quoth I.

To be sure the stately figures after a festive height march in big, lengthened pace; but so does the jolly tune, as though in mockery. Few pieces of program music are so closely associated with the subject as this tone picture of the Devil's Round. Hell's a-burning, burning, burning.
Friend of the tarantula, darkness, the odd number, the Devil, prowling, runs about. My clock strikes midnight. If I should go to see Lucifer? Hell's a-burning, burning, burning; the Devil, prowling, runs about. Cackling in his impish play, Here and there the Devil's turning, Forward here and back again, Zig-zag as the lightning's ray, While the fires burn amain.
And it's thinkin' of that little fire to home that makes the best soldier. "He's got a big job to do. He's goin' to get it done so he can go back to that there home and find the little fire a-burning bright.

"Go down in the kitchen, cook, and see to the dinner." The cook turned to go, but stopped short and turned back. "Oh, my darling! my darling!" cried Mrs Brandon.
But I'm a wolf. You look out for me; best take care I don't bite you! Wolf wolf! Ah! It's up four flights at the end of the hall, very dark, eight thousand dollars in a green cloth sack, and lots of lights a-burning. See how long my finger nails are regular claws; that's the wolf, the brute! Why can't I talk in my mouth instead of in my throat? That's the devil of it.
