"I mean, do come as often as you can." He bent down and kissed his mother. "By the way," he added, almost awkwardly, "about that dog?" "What dog, dee-ar?" "The dog I want to give you." "We must think about it. Give me time. After a black pug one doesn't know all in a moment what type would be the proper successor. You remember your poor Aunt Binn?" "Aunt Binn! Why, what did she do?"
'Catch the crystal globules catch 'em bottle 'em up cork 'em tight put sealing wax on the top seal 'em with a cupid label 'em "Best quality" and stow 'em away in the fourteen binn, with a bar of iron on the top to keep the thunder off!
"Nothing," said Matilda gently; "Sarah told us how he had been sick a long while; and we came to see how he was and what he wanted." "He won't want anything soon, but a coffin and a grave," said his mother. Matilda wondered how she could speak so; she did not know yet how long misery makes people seem hard. "How he'll get them, I don't know," Mrs. Binn went on; "but I s'pose "
I wouldn't care, only for the child," she said in a tone a little subdued. "David, what can we do?" said Matilda, in a half despairing whisper. David edged himself a little forward and put his question. "What does the doctor say about him?" "Doctor!" echoed Mrs. Binn. "Did you say doctor? There's no doctor has seen him.
As it was the end of the week, no washing encumbered the six feet clear of space; but the stove was fired up and Mrs. Binn was ironing and some clothes were hung up to air. It was neither desirable nor very practicable to go in; only Matilda edged a little way within the door, and David and Sarah stood at the opening. "What's all to do?" said Mrs.
Meanwhile Mrs. Binn was not forgotten. "It's worth anything," David said to Matilda one day that week, "to see the fellow eat strawberries." "Strawberries!

Let your sleep be like the sleep in the West of Aine daughter of Galian, the time she went on a journey in the night with Dubhthach from Dorinis, by the light of torches. Let your sleep be like the sleep in the East of Deaghadh the proud, the brave fighter, the time he took Coincheann, daughter of Binn, in spite of fierce Decheall of Duibhreann.
Miss Redwood also engaged herself to see that proper care was had and proper food given; and in short the way was clear. "That will do," said David when he had read the letter. "Now, the thing is to get him up there." "Is Mrs. Binn willing?" "She is one of the willingest persons you ever saw in your life." "Well, how will you manage, David?" "I don't see any way but to go myself."
It hath cost me no little thought, no common toil, to keep these weighty matters in such order as you have seen them there was both barn and binn to be kept full Infirmary, dormitory, guest-hall, and refectory, to be looked to processions to be made, confessions to be heard, strangers to be entertained, veniae to be granted or refused; and I warrant me, when every one of you was asleep in your cell, the Abbot hath lain awake for a full hour by the bell, thinking how these matters might be ordered seemly and suitably."
