I bring you nothing but dirty clothes, but you are neat, and will make me " "Oh, dear Damie, how you look!" cried Barefoot, and she threw herself on his neck. But she quickly tore herself away from him, exclaiming: "For Heaven's sake! You smell of whisky! Have you got so far already?" "No, Coaly Mathew only gave me a little juniper spirit, for I could not stand up any longer.
And every Sunday afternoon Barefoot experienced great difficulty in getting him to clean himself up a little; then she would sit with him and Coaly Mathew. Little was said, and Barefoot could not prevent her thoughts from wandering about the world in search of him who had once made her so happy for a whole day, and had lifted her above the earth. Did he know nothing more about her?
Arthur started and said, 'Dear me, Pancks, don't say that! 'Understand me, said Pancks, extending five cropped coaly finger-nails on Arthur's arm; 'I don't mean, cut his throat. But by all that's precious, if he goes too far, I'll cut his hair!
You should have gone home first, and meanwhile I should have stayed somewhere at Coaly Mathew's in the forest, if we could have done no better. Then you could have come with your mother to fetch me, or could have written to me, and I could have come to you with my Damie. But do you know what I think?" "Not everything you think."
It has a clean sandy beach instead of the mud and pebbles and coaly defilements of Port Burdock, a row of six bathing machines, and a shelter on the parade in which the Three Ps sat after a satisfying but rather expensive lunch that had included celery.

Don't chatter so," said Mr Sibery reprovingly. "Please, sir, he asked me," said the boy in protest; and there was a frank, bluff manner in his speech which took with the doctor. "Humph!" he said.
Things were smoking, and smelt good, by the time four of our men turned up, all of them dog-tired and disappointed, but stoical. "That pup Coaly chased off atter a wildcat," blurted John. "We held the old dogs together and let him rip. Then Dred started a deer. It was that old buck that everybody's shot at, and missed, this three year back.
And that very evening the children stood outside the house and waited for the cuckoo to sing; and when it did, they laughed aloud. And every morning the children went to the old house, and knocked, and played beside the pond, as we saw them doing today. Now they listen, for they hear a sound that is not often heard at this season of the year-the cuckoo at Coaly Mathew's is singing eight times.
The perspective of squat blue slate roofs and clustering chimneys drifted downward towards the irregular open space before the colliery a space covered with coaly, wheel-scarred mud, with a patch of weedy dump to the left and the colliery gates to the right.
One coaly giant yelled, "That's the lot," when the last batch came up, and then the crowd went mad, weeping, cheering, dancing mad. I have seen many deeds of valour in my time, both in peace and war, but I have never seen anything to match the Black Lake rescue for deliberate courage.
