But that was crueller pain; for if he could not even escape, how on earth was he to get married? So he fell back on thoughts of religion and in making up answers to the doctor's terrible arguments; and these he would muster up at night, tackling the young man finely, till the two were at it like a pair of wrestlers.
This time the break-down was even crueller, for every pinafored pupil, not excluding Bloomah, was in her place, red-marked. Upon this saintly company burst suddenly Bloomah's mother, who, ignoring the teacher, and pointing her finger dramatically at her daughter, cried: 'Bloomah Beckenstein, go home! Bloomah's face became one large red mark, at which all the other girls' eyes were directed.
The first thing to do was to warn Jim poor old Jim, snoring away, most like, and dreaming of taking the box-seat for himself and Jeanie at the agent's next morning. It seemed cruel to wake him, but it would have been crueller not to do so. I walked up the narrow track that led up to the little gully with the moon shining down upon the white quartz rock.

I was then armed against a crueller, that allows of no interval for a man to make his vow to recover! 'The disease which is all crisis, I apprehend, Mr. Beamish remarked. 'Which, sir, when it takes hold of dry wood, burns to the last splinter. It is now' the duke fetched a tender groan 'three years ago that I had a caprice to marry a grandchild!

And thus they passed the autumn days in open wickedness, in suffering which was eating their hearts out, unable to rise out of this vicious life and in dread of the still crueller days of winter. Kuvalda in such cases came to their assistance with his philosophy.
"Oh, cruel was my parents as tore my love from me, And cruel was the press-gang as took him off to sea And cruel was the little boat as row'd him from the strand, But crueller the big ship as sail'd him from the land. Sing tura-la, tura-la, tura-lara hey.
