Cold, sunshiny day it was, out a-walking, when some one it was my mother as sure as you stand there, though I don't know what her blessed face was like, for she took ill and died that Christmas- time told me they were food for birds.
"Why, boys," said Mr Marston after a long examination, "this might be the body of someone who lived as long back as the date when that old galley was in use." "So long back as that!" cried Dick, looking curiously at the strange figure, whose head was fully six feet below the surface of the bog. "Got a-walking across in the dark, and sinked in," said Bargle gruffly.
'His plate were down-stairs, full o' victual; a seed Measter Hepburn a-walking briskly before me as a left Monkshaven. 'Here he be, here he be, called out the other man, dragging Daniel out by his legs, 'we've getten him. Daniel kicked violently, and came out from his hiding-place in a less ignominious way than by being pulled out by his heels.
'He takes more care of my affairs, morning, noon, and night, said Mr Boffin, 'than fifty other men put together either could or would; and yet he has ways of his own that are like tying a scaffolding-pole right across the road, and bringing me up short when I am almost a-walking arm in arm with him. 'May I ask how so, sir? inquired Bella.
Colonel Russell came about one, and carried me out a-walking, which I was all the better of. In the evening we expected Terry and his wife, but they did not come, which makes me fear she may be unwell again. July 24.
That night he walked up and down the pavement in front of her door; but the servant-girl caught sight of him through the kitchen-window and the area-railings, and ran up-stairs to warn Miss Baker, who was taking tea with two girl friends. "He is a-walking up and down, Miss, 'is great-coat flying behind him."
"'Twas at the Willow Pool; he was a-walking round it. Oh-o-o-o-o-oh!" Jan's momentary fear was dispelled. A night or two back there had been a slight affray between Lionel's gamekeeper and some poachers: and the natural doubts arose whether anything fresh of the same nature had taken place. If so, Dan Duff might have come upon one of them lying, dead or wounded.
Thornton to herself; 'you've a pretty good temper of your own. If John and you had come together, he would have had to keep a tight hand over you, to make you know your place. But I don't think you will go a-walking again with your beau, at such an hour of the day, in a hurry. You've too much pride and spirit in you for that. I like to see a girl fly out at the notion of being talked about.
This was news, and my impatience and ill-temper vanished. "How do you know?" I asked. "Tell me all about it." "I never set eyes on him but just this minute, sir," said Hinge, "since I left Vienna. But he walked upstairs just now with a latch-key in his hand, and he went into the rooms overhead of yours, sir. That's him a-walking about now, I'll lay a fiver."
How reverently we would gaze on them, and how we would admire the brave pages who carried the trains of their long mantles, and the hump-backed camels whose heads towered high above Saint Mary and Saint Joseph and the ox and the ass. Yes, there they were at last the Kings! Many and many a time in the after years have I gone a-walking on the Arles road at nightfall on the Eve of the Kings.
