"At any rate longer than men's bones," laughed the chief neat-herd, who had come in to town from the pioneer's country estate, bringing with him animals for sacrifices, butter and cheese. "If we were all to follow the master's example, we should soon have none but cripples in the servant's house."

So the gentlemen decided it was no use doctoring me any more, and there was no sense in keeping cripples up at the great house... well, and so they sent me here because I've relations here. So here I live, as you see. Lukerya was silent again, and again she tried to smile.

"I shouldn't call him a cripple," rejoined Dinah quickly. "He is quite active." "Many cripples are, dear," Rose pointed out. "He has learnt to get the better of his infirmity, but nothing can alter the fact that the infirmity exists. I call him a most peculiar little person to look at. Of course I don't deny that he may be very nice in other ways." Dinah bit her lip and was silent.

Well, what's the matter with driving up?" "The magnificent oiled highway which is going to bring thousands of visitors to our Colony has not quite been built down to the mouth of the river here." "All right. We'll walk up to where she begins. Ain't no cripples aboard, far's I can see." "The one bad piece of land in the district unfortunately lies between the mouth of the river.

"The dormitory girls are shovel-feeted, and she wishes they could not walk one step, only lie in bed!" exclaimed the largest girl, sitting down on a straw-tick to discuss the matter. "Then we should be cripples, and, tokee! how many cripples there would be!"

And I, it seems so this tiresome Doctor says ought to have a fortnight's sea." "Oh " said Delia, with a sudden flush. "So you think we ought to give up the flat? Why can't I come with you to the sea?" "I thought you had begun to do various things cripples and cottages and schools for Mr. Winnington," said Gertrude, drily.
