Why, they hadn't got more than started and Sammy here hadn't even begun. What ailed you, Sammy?" "Oh, I rather think I frightened them," said Frank's assistant. "But I think that before long they will feel enough at home with me to come and sit on my back fence." Sammy was left to clear up while the men went back to work.
"After I had stood in the thrall-market at Cheaping Knowe, and not been sold, the wild man led me away toward the mountains that are above Goldburg; and as we drew near to them on a day, he said to me that he was glad to the heart-root that none had cheapened me at the said market; and when I asked him wherefore, he fell a weeping as he rode beside me, and said: 'Yet would God that I had never taken thee. I asked what ailed him, though indeed I deemed that I knew.
"What ailed old Drayne this afternoon, Dick?" asked Tom Reade. "Why, he told me that he had hoped to play quarter this season." "Regular quarter?" demanded Dan Dalzell, opening his eyes very wide. "That was what I gathered, from what he said," nodded Dick. "Well, of all the nerve!" muttered Hazelton. "The star position -for a fellow with a quitter's record!"
To be sure, it was a deal of trouble; it would ache and cry in a reasonless way, when nobody could tell what ailed it; it would take a great amount of caring-for with ungrateful silence and utter want of demonstration for a long time; but then it was so helpless! irresistible plea to a woman! and under all Miss 'Viny's rough exterior, her heart was as sweet as the kernel of a butternut, though about as hard to discover.
The driver was a negro; but his companions were white. Their features were marked by ferocious indifference to danger or pity. One of them, as he assisted in thrusting the coffin into the cavity provided for it, said, "I'll be damned if I think the poor dog was quite dead. It wasn't the fever that ailed him, but the sight of the girl and her mother on the floor.
I had not spoken the last word before I became conscious of a streak of pain which cut me like a knife and vanished; my surprise at it was so evident that she asked me what ailed me." "Nothing." "I never had the feeling you speak of in my finger ends," she said sadly, looking at her slender hand. "Poor girl!" "What has come over you, Cass? An attack of compassion?
Here she went on with her own story so long, and in so particular a manner, that I began to be very uneasy; but coming to one particular that required telling her name, I thought I should have sunk down in the place. She perceived I was out of order, and asked me if I was not well, and what ailed me.
"Think I'd make a woman a reasonably good husband?" "I do," said I, truthfully. Whatever ailed the man? "Good! And I," the doctor said, deliberately, "know that you'd make any man more than a reasonably good wife. Should you like to be mine, Sophronisba Two?" The jump I gave threw Potty Black off my knees. "You're ill, wandering in your wits, you poor man!" I was genuinely alarmed.
He stared into the dusk that was gathering outside the dormer window and wondered what ailed him. He had heard many feet thudding on the stairs below. The workers were returning. The beehive was filling. There were many voices, clatter of dishes, chatter of patois.
On our arrival at Samarang, the mate got a doctor from a Dutch frigate, to look at me, who declared nothing ailed me. By these means nearly all hands in the ship were set against me, but my four companions, and the little boy fancying that I was a skulk, and throwing labour on them. I was ordered on deck, and set to work graffing ring-bolts for the guns.
