"I say there's two ways of growing old. And growing old ain't always growing ugly. Some folks grow old from the inside, out; and some from the outside, in. There's old furniture, and there's growing trees!" "And the trunk that is roughest below may branch out greenest a-top!" said the doctor.
Or else the team goes into the ditch a mile further on, and I come out about as happy as a small yaller dog at a bob-cat's caucus. Some fellers can run in a rhinecaboo that 'd make the hair stand up on a buffeler robe, and get away with it just like a mice; but that ain't me. If I sing a little mite too high in the cellar, down comes the roof a-top of me. So it was this day.
"The first town they came to there was a blue bride chamber, He clothed her on with silk, and belted her with amber." "Come and help me down with the toboggin, Bertie. It is a-top of the book-shelf," and they dragged down a mysterious structure of maple wood, having the appearance of a plank six feet long by two wide, and turned up at one end.
Will you obligingly shove that box which you mentioned on a former occasion as containing miscellanies towards me in the midst of the shop here? Mr Venus did as he was asked.

A big powdered wig, half as high as herself, was a-top o' her head, and, wow! was ever such wrinkles? and her old baggy throat all powdered white, and her cheeks rouged, and mouse-skin eyebrows, that Mrs. Wyvern used to stick on, and there she lay proud and stark, wi' a pair o' clocked silk hose on, and heels to her shoon as tall as nine-pins. Lawk!
He's the best mascot this ship ever had, by all accounts." "He hasn't brought us much luck this run!" smiled Applewaite, remembering a long list of "previous convictions" and wondering what Crothers might be up to next. "No, sir? We're still a-top o' the water, sir." "Oh! He gets the credit for that, eh? But for him, I suppose we'd have piled up on the reef yesterday?"
He'd leave his sister in peace and quiet then, to enjoy her fortune." "That's true," said Frank; "and it would be a great thing to rid the country of him. Do you remember the way he rode a-top of that poor bitch of mine the other day Goneaway, you know; the best bitch in the pack?"
But av he iver is, he'll soon take himself out of the counthry, and be no more throuble to your lordship or any of us." "But to think of his riding right a-top of the poor brute, and then saying that the dog got under his horse's feet! Why, he's a fool as well as a knave. Was he ever out before?" "Well, then, I believe he was, twice this year; though I didn't see him myself."
Jawleyford therefore resolved to try and smoke and starve him out. When our friend went to dress, he found his old apartment, the state-room, put away, the heavy brocade curtains brown-hollanded, the jugs turned upside down, the bed stripped of its clothes and the looking-glass laid a-top of it.
