William used to say that he'd seen a man look a fool a good many times, but never such a fool as that bull looked when he found his pious feelings had been played upon, and 'twas not Christmas Eve. ... Yes, William Dewy, that was the man's name; and I can tell you to a foot where's he a-lying in Mellstock Churchyard at this very moment just between the second yew-tree and the north aisle."
But sir, given a man drunk as the Major was, and given a scuffle to get away the drink that was poisoning him, and given a crash such as I heard, and given a poker a-lying in the middle of the room where it stands to reason no poker could get unless it was thrown why, sir, no sensible woman who can put two and two together can doubt that it was all the Major's doing."
Jem," piteously said a man I knew, to his nephew, "what am I to do with that ten thousand pounds a-lying at the bank?"
So far from entering into any conversation with me, or hitting at me, like a man which would have done good to think of he send out one hand to the bottom of my vest as they call it now in all the best livery tailors and afore I could reason on it, there I was a-lying on a star in six colors of marble.
So the man showed me the way and there was Jan, sure enough, a-lying on his face. I turned mun over, and, as I did, his hand fell across my knees, and his face was so quiet that I thought for a minute that he was only a-dropped asleep from weariness; but it wasn't of no use, for he was dead shot through the heart.
"No, sir," Hinge answered, turning his hard-bitten, queer old mug towards me with a shining smile. "Nobody's left me a fortune, sir, but I'm just as glad as as if they had. You're a-lying a bit late this morning, sir, and you haven't seen the newspapers." "The newspapers!" I cried, springing out of bed at once. "Let me have them. What's the news?"
The charwoman wiped her eyes and resumed. "'E was a-lying on his back in 'is dressing-gown, 'is face all burnt black, like, and a fair smother o' blood. Under 'is hed there was a pool o' blood, mister, yer may believe me or not..." Mr. Marigold cut in decisively. "Do you wish to see the body, sir?" the detective asked the Chief, "they're upstairs photographing it!" The Chief nodded.
"And you was a-lying there with shut eyes very pale and still, Barnabas. But all at once you opened your eyes and being out o' your mind, and not seeing us delirious, d' ye see, Barnabas, you began to speak. 'No, says you very fierce, 'No! I love you so much that I can never ask you to be the wife of Barnabas Barty. Mine must be the harder way, always. The harder way!
Miss Tabby, who sat whimpering at the feet of the dead, now spoke up: "I think," she said, wiping the tear-drop from the end of her nose, "I do think as we ought not to leave it a-lying here, cramped up onto this sofy, where we can't stretch it straight. We ought to have it taken to her room and laid out on her bed, decent and in order."
"I know them now, for my cousin Parker hath a venture in the Mere Honour, and that is the great ship the Queen hath lent Sir John, his other ships being the Marigold, the Cygnet, and the Star, and they're all a-lying above Greenwich, ready to sail on the morrow for the Spanish Main." "You've hit it in the clout," yawned the boy.
