First, I punch a hole by jamming down the dibble with my foot, and then I kick the hole again with the same foot, after I have dropped in the grains of corn. These two motions are dreadfully tiresome." "Yes," said his uncle, with a short laugh, "and while I was watching you and Oscar, this forenoon, I couldn't help thinking that you did not yet know how to make your muscles bear an equal strain.
Sergeant Dibble was delighted, and foretold that if Master Bracebridge went into the army he would distinguish himself. "I don't know what I am to be," replied Ernest; "I know that I am to do everything I am set to do as well as I can."
Every Dred-Scottite had carried a torch, and many transparencies, so that the very glory of it had turned night into day. The Chief Lictor had distributed these torches with an unheard-of liberality. But there lacked not detractors who swore that John Dibble and other Lincolnites had applied for torches for the mere pleasure of carrying them.
"Dees white fokes is de very dibble," said Dick; "and all dey whole study is to try to fool de black people." "Didn't you like de sermon?" asked Uncle Simon. "No," answered four or five voices. "He rared and pitched enough," continued Uncle Simon.
Take an old man's advice, youth, one who hath seen many days, and sat in higher places than thou canst hope for bend thy sword into a pruning-hook, and make a dibble of thy dagger thy days shall be the longer, and thy health the better for it, and come to aid me in my garden, and I will teach thee the real French fashion of imping, which the Southron call graffing.

He staked out a piece of the green before for a garden, and Peter, who acted in Harley's family as valet, butler, and gardener, had orders to furnish him with parcels of the different seeds he chose to sow in it. I have seen his master at work in this little spot with his coat off, and his dibble in his hand: it was a scene of tranquil virtue to have stopped an angel on his errands of mercy!

Where are we? Open Sesame! Cometh forth! I bring thee thy answer. Redbank oysters will shortly be upon us. I'm the best o'cook.
After dinner Sister Mary John without further words told her she was to go in front with the dibble and make holes for the potatoes, for an absent-minded person could not be trusted with the seed potatoes she would be sure to break the shoots.
They would follow the dibbling machine, taking each grain of seed-wheat in succession, guided to the exact spot by the slight depression made by the dibble. Every evening all the rooks of the neighbourhood gathered into vast flocks and returned to roost in the woods of the Chace.
