"Aunt doesn't like me to go a-walking only when I'm going somewhere," said Hetty. "But I go through the Chase sometimes." "And don't you ever go to see Mrs. Best, the housekeeper? I think I saw you once in the housekeeper's room." "It isn't Mrs. Best, it's Mrs. Pomfret, the lady's maid, as I go to see. She's teaching me tent-stitch and the lace-mending.
They are written with a brisk, sincere informality that suggest the lively talker rather than the writer. He takes us a-walking in green lanes and woods, and a-wading in brooks and still pools not drawing us into a class-room or a study. He enters into the heart and life of creatures, and shows us how we should do the same. A lively humor is in all his popular pages.
When we woke before daylight on Christmas morning the school boys were singing under our windows, "When Joseph was a-walking he heard an angel sing," so we got up and looked out, wishing the children a happy Christmas. Then we dressed, for there was a great deal to do. Papa had many services in church, Chinese, English, and Dyak. I had the wreaths to make.
It's my belief he'd got some order ready for father, and so he'd a mind to call and ask you if I'd told him the truth." "Pray, Betty," cried I, "how long has he been gone?" "Not two minutes, Ma'am." "Why then, I'll lay you any wager, "said young Branghton, "he saw you and I a-walking up Holborn Hill."
Shamefu'! shamefu'! I am a peacefu' man and a magistrate, but if ony ane had guided sae muckle as my servant quean, Mattie, as it's like they guided Rob's wife, I think it suld hae set the shabble* that my father the deacon had at Bothwell brig a-walking again. * Cutlass.
"He neither shall be clothèd In purple nor in pall, But in the fair white linen That usen babies all. "He neither shall be rockèd In silver nor in gold, But in a wooden manger That resteth in the mould." As Joseph was a-walking There did an angel sing, And Mary's child at midnight Was born to be our King.
I'll set the police on him I will. When a man's drove wild, he aint answerable for what he's a-doing; and to see him a-walking about Carlingford, and a-holding up his head, is a thing as I won't stand no longer, not if it was to be my ruin. I'm as good as ruined now, and I don't care."
"He seems as though he's a-walking in his sleep," said the cook. "He ain't very hungry," said one of the men; "he seems to mumble his food." "Hungry!" repeated Bill, who had just left the wheel. "Course he ain't famished. He had his tea last night." The men stared at him in bewilderment. "Don't you see?" said Bill, still in a hoarse whisper; "ain't you ever seen them eyes afore?
And the next thing I heard was, that the start had took place; they a-walking to Heartburg, and taking the train there. You might just have knocked me down with a puff of wind." "Such a howling and screeching followed on, sir," put in Peckaby. "I were at the forge, and it reached all the way to our ears, over there. Chuff, he thought as the place had took fire and the missis was a-burning."
He neither shall be washen With white wine nor with red, But with the fair spring water That on you shall be shed. He neither shall be clothed In purple nor in pall, But in the fair white linen That usen babies all. As Joseph was a-walking Thus did the angel sing, And Mary's Son at midnight Was born to be our King.
