"Come, my girl," in a deprecating tone said a voice, which I recognised as that of Angus. I hoped nobody else would. "I'm not your girl, and I'll not come unless I've a mind, neither!" cried I, loudly, trying to put in practice her Ladyship's advice to be as vulgar as I could. "I'm not a-going to have fellows dangling at my heels as keeps me a-waiting "
"She's mortal ill, and not expected to live. Why, look ye, there's the doctor's carriage a-waiting at her door." At this evil tidings old John sprang up and hurried over to the cottage, where he met the physician returning to his brougham. "How is your patient, doctor?" he asked in a trembling voice.

The "purple gownd" was kept in this very ex-room of Brother Jarrum's hid in a safe place between some sheets of newspaper. Had Mrs. Peckaby kept it open to the view of Peckaby, there's no saying what grief the robe might not have come to, ere this.
Thus the farmer sows his seeds, Thus he stands and takes his ease, Stamps his foot and claps his hands And turns around to view his lands; A-waiting for a partner, A-waiting for a partner, So open the ring and take one in, And kiss her when you get her in." The children had acted it all, sowing the seed, taking his ease, stamping, clapping hands, and whirling around.
They was perching on a log afore the fire, with ever' last idintical one o' them redskins a-waiting on 'em like they was a couple of Injun queens.

There were consecration and joy in the words, and the transformation in the girl was wonderful. Gone was the look of despair and surrender. Madam Bubble was herself again! Springing up, the girl began to dance about among the sodden autumn leaves.
"I am innocent, sir, indeed!" it was upon Richard's lips to say; but the stern, doubting look on the tutor's face checked him, and he went slowly up to his room, utterly crushed as he sank into a chair, conscious the next moment that the curtain which separated it from his bedchamber was pushed aside, and Jerry appeared.

Sometimes it comes merrily to the tune of "Come, butter, come! Peter stands a-waiting at the gate, Waiting for his butter-cake. Come, butter, come!" chanted in time with the dasher; again it doth willfully refuse, and then, lest it be too cool, we contribute a dash of hot water, or too hot, and we lend it a dash of cold.
