Upon the ground he lay spluttering, writhing, and giving vent to an occasional shriek till there was a hurrying of feet in the mansion; then the meek and jaded traveller moved gently away till his person was hidden in the pines. Standing against a giant bole the traveller thus soliquized: 'To please Roland I promised to be good; and I felt much good in my heart.
Had it not been for the impatience of the precentor and the grumbling of the mourners outside, there is no saying when the remains would have been lifted through the "bole," or little window. Hearses had hardly come in at this time and the coffin was carried by the mourners on long stakes.
He laughed, and flicked his whip at a wizened monkey-face that peered at them round the bole of a tree. "What do you mean by the horrid part?" She hesitated. He turned his gay face to her. "Do you mean the hardships or the actual fighting?" She gave a little shudder. Even in that brilliant warmth of sunshine she was conscious of a sense of chill. "I mean the killing," she said.
Let me implore you as a last chance to put yourself into his hands, and to obey him, and your wife; and let me the Rector hesitated 'let me make things pecuniarily easier for Mrs. Henslowe, till you have pulled yourself out of the bole in which, by common report at least, you are now.
Rita had no recollection of the sunset; indeed, she had failed to perceive any change in the form and position of the shadow cast by the foliage.

Rooted in God, thou shalt be unmoved by 'the loud winds when they call'; or if still the tremulous leaves are huddled together before the blast, and the swaying branches creak and groan, the bole will stand firm and the gnarled roots will not part from their anchorage, though the storm-giant drag at them with a hundred hands.
The bole, or stem, rose sixty feet, tapering but slightly, to where some heavy and gnarled limbs put forth, their extremities lost in masses of peculiarly dark, rich foliage. At first I could distinguish no flowers, but at length here and there a suppressed glow of orange shot with a redder tinge showed through the dusky gloom of the leaves.
