Wherever you've been, you've picked up friends, like like a little woolly lambie gathers burs." They all laughed at Pat's speech; they were in the joyous frame of mind when laughter comes easily. "I want to join you in Christmas remembrances to the people who have been so good to you," said Miss Drayton.
"Why, no," said she; "I'm a lone woman, and hain't got no help; so I keep only a cow and that 'ere colt. I wish I could sell him, for I ain't got nobody to break him in properly." Zebulon looked at the colt. He was a limpsey, long-legged, shaggy animal, with a ewe-neck, drooping head, and little, undecided tail, completely knotted up with burs; but then he was only five years old.
Yet he let another pay; there's the shabbiness. "Oh, shabby Wheeler, shabby! Alas! I must vote for him. Rory sings. "True game to the last; no Wheeler for me; Talbot, oh, Talbot's the dog for me." Burs. Wheeler, if you are not chosen Captain, you must see and pay me for the dress. Wheel. I am as poor as a rat. Rory.
Then, all at once, there came a great roar, as it were, from the very heart of the mill a deep diapason, dug out of the throat of the hills: the big whistle. "It sounds mournful like a great animal in pain," said Mrs. Falchion. "You might have got one more cheerful." "Wait till it gets tuned up," said Mr. Devlin.

The ball pads being well protected by the spaniel toe-tufts, are less likely to be wounded by the thorns and burs with which our woods are crowded during the winter season.
Lord J. My vote I promised you, Mr. Wheeler; but I said not a syllable about my INTEREST. My friends, perhaps, have not been offended, though I have, by Mr. Talbot. I shall leave them to their own inclinations. Burs. Wheugh! wheugh! wheugh! Wheeler, the principal's nothing without the interest. Wheel.
That the air or sun will cause the burs to open is a bit of knowledge that I do not suppose he possesses in the sense in which we possess it: he is in a hurry for the nuts, and does not by any means always wait for the burs to open; he frequently chips them up and eats the pale nuts. The same squirrel will bite into the limbs of a maple tree in spring and suck the sap.
"Of course, by this time they had collected a crowd around them, for just imagine what they looked like! Nothing on but white night-dresses I mean, of course, that were originally white, but now spattered a foot deep with muddy water, and stained all over with crushed strawberries; and they were barefooted, with their golden curls stuck full of burs, till they looked like little porcupines."
