It cost me even more labour than the first, for I could not get at it so well; besides, I had to widen the aperture in the other, before I could reach the joining between two pieces. The widening was not so difficult, as the soft plank split off readily under the blade of my knife. I worked cheerlessly at this second box, as I worked without hope.
"Think you can cut it?" one of the audience asked. Mr Barelli smiled cheerlessly and didnt answer. Instead, he uprooted from his hip pocket a slender stone and began phlegmatically to caress the blade of the scythe with it. "Hay, that stuff's not goin to stop growin while you fool around."

The sun would shine out for a few moments, with a grey, weary, old light, then retreat as if he had tried, but really could not.

Then addressed by thy son, O sire, Aswatthaman, sighing cheerlessly, replied unto the king in these words, "That weapon, O king, cannot be brought back.
In front of me was a strip of woods, and the bay was so near that I could hear the dashing of the waves. It was near midnight, and occasionally a star was to be seen through the flying clouds.
