And now Levi sought and found the thin, blue-veined hands folded peacefully upon the white coverlid. "Sandy found the starved mother and father in us, Matilda. His need met ours, and God blessed us all." "That's a true word, brother. You and I were real pinched in our aims and longings in the offset.
"I've got a tidy bit o' prize-money left somewhere, enough to take me back to England, and mayhap a bit over, to keep me out of the workhouse when I gets there." He put his hands into his hairy bosom and drew out a small canvas bag, which he shook out upon the coverlid of the bed.
I looked at my two feet upholding the coverlid, and pictured to myself how they would look protruding from the boards of the stocks. I recalled the faces of all I had ever seen therein, and wondered whether I would look like this or that one. I remembered seeing them pelted by mischievous boys, and as the dusk thickened, it seemed alive with jeering faces and my ears rang with jibes.
Let him lie either outside the bed or on a sofa, if he be very ill, inside the bed, with a sheet and a blanket only to cover him, but no thick coverlid. If he be allowed to be on the lap, it only heats him and makes him restless.

"Why, comrade," I replied, "I thought you would like to have a lady to nurse you ?" "Divil a wan," growled he, and, drawing the coverlid over his face, refused to speak again. I felt disheartened for the moment, but after a consultation with Dr.

And the grey hours of the dawning found her still wakeful under the same green silk coverlid beneath which she had slept so many, many nights with Happy Dreaming of the Wonderful Mr. Bennet and his very great Charm. This was the very first night in all of her healthy young life that Arethusa did not go to sleep just as soon as her head had touched the pillow.
