Mi krik is bad, mi ink is pale: Mi luv for u shal never fale. Cicely followed me, anxious-eyed, for I looked bad. I dropped into a chair; and almost buryin' my face in my white linen handkerchief, I give vent to some moans of anguish, and a large number of sithes. And Cicely says, "What is the matter, aunt Samantha?" And I says, "Your poor uncle! your poor uncle!"
I smiled into the pillow when he turned to my anxious-eyed Dinky-Dunk and condoningly enlarged on the fact that there was nothing abnormal about a woman like me being well, rather abnormal as to temper and nerves during the last few months. But Dinky-Dunk cut him short. "On the contrary, sir; she's been wonderful, simply wonderful!" Dinky-Dunk stoutly declared.

The passengers came flocking to the forward gangway, ladies and all, anxious-eyed, white-faced, and talked in awed voices of the dreadful thing.

Couples came next the men anxious-eyed, and usually walking two steps ahead of their companions; the women plainly flustered and hurried, and invariably buttoning gloves or gathering up trailing ends of scarfs or boas.
