But Polly didn't hear; over the big, flat door-stone she sped, and met Ben with little David, coming in the gate. His face was just like Phronsie's! And with a cold, heavy feeling at her heart, Polly realized that this was no play. "Oh, Ben!" she cried, flinging her arms around his neck, and bursting into tears; "don't! please I wish you wouldn't; Phronsie's got 'em, and that's enough!"
Paulina Maria Judd had many such; when the pricks of fate were too firm set against her struggling feet she saved herself from the despair of utter futility by taking soap and water and sand, and going forth to attack the paint on her house walls, and also the front door-stone worn in frequent hollows for the collection of dirt and dust.
He falters; it would seem as if the very doors of the church would open and receive him. Throwing down the bundle, he kneels upon the door-stone, and breathes a prayer to heaven, to bless those who will enter therein when he shall be gone.
All night long did poor Mrs. Fenwick lie, her senses locked in insensibility; and all through the next day she remained in the same state, in spite of every effort to restore her. Her husband several times attempted to gain admittance, but was resolutely refused. "He never crosses my door-stone again!" the old man said; and to that resolution he determined to adhere.
The magnitude of the sum astonished him. He walked silently by Maggie's side until she came to her door-step. He was a heavy-faced Celt; sallow, and dark-eyed; with the impatient look of a selfish greedy man.

Often in the boyhood days, when the Nazarite fit was on, he had climbed to the deserted solitude of the glen to sit on the broad door-stone of the dog-keeper's cabin as a hermit at large, monarch for the monastic moment of a kingdom as remote as that of John the Baptist in the Wilderness of Sin. "I thought of it last night," said Ardea, nodding toward the cabin.
But when he passed down the path to the gate she knelt on the door-stone and covered her face with her hands. Gordon gathered the slack of the reins on the neck of the mare and put a leg over the saddle. "That'll do, Buddy," he said. "Run along in to your mammy, now." But Thomas Jefferson caught again at the bridle and held on, choking. "O pappy! take me with you!
But Richard himself parried the impending stroke of truth, saying: "So she is safe and well, Mr. Stair, 'tis all I ask to know." "She is safe enough; safer by far than you are at this minute, my young cock-a-hoop rebel, now that the king God save him! has his own again." I turned quickly on the broad door-stone to look within.
But you must not stop for me, or for Jeanne, till 'tis safe to do so." "Safe? Lord love ye, child! 'safe' is a word beyond us yit, and will be till we sot ye down on your daddy's door-stone. But we'll make out to give ye a bite and sup and forty winks o' sleep immejitly, if not sooner, now."
Pevy's; but she now stood on the door-stone and called repetitions of these directions after her. Bobby waved her fur piece and shouted encouragement too. But Ida Bellethorne ran into the house to attend the injured Hunchie and did not watch Betty and the black mare out of sight as the others did.
