"And that Pike County girl from Dow's Flat, with her bundles. Don't forget her," added the outside passenger ironically. "Does anybody here know her?" continued Bill, ignoring the irony. "You'd better ask Judge Thompson; he was mighty attentive to her; gettin' her a seat by the off window, and lookin' after her bundles and things." "Gettin' her a seat by the WINDOW?" repeated Bill.

That wild journey probably lasted two hours, and came to an abrupt end only when a tree fell upon the trap. The horse galloped off, but one of Dow's legs was beneath the tree, and there he had to lie helpless, for though the leg was little injured, he could not extricate himself. A night and day passed, and he believed that he must die; but even in this plight he did not forget the man he loved.
Sudden as was its rise, as sudden was its fall; till the terrible Zingis, descending on the Turkish dynasties, like an avalanche, coöperated effectually with the Crusaders and finished their work; and if Jerusalem was not protected from other enemies, at least Constantinople was saved, and Europe was placed in security, for three hundred years. Gibbon. Vid. Dow's Hindostan. Caldecott's Baber.
Now, however, she hoped that, with James Dow's management, things would go better, and she would be able to hold her mental head a little higher in her own presence. So she was happy, knowing nothing of the cloud that was gathering over the far-off university, soon to sweep northward, and envelope Howglen in its dusky folds.
When I was yet a little lad, and drove the swine out to feed on the hill yonder, when the acorns had fallen, afore Farmer Gyrton's father had gracious leave from the feoffees to put up the fence that doth now so sorely vex us, I found one day a great acorn, as big as a dow's egg, and of a rich and wondrous brown, and this acorn I bore home and planted in kind earth in the corner of my dad's garden, thinking that it would grow, and that one day I would hew its growth and use it for a staff.
"Hoo cam ye here?" "I'm safe eneuch here, Dooie; dinna be fleyt. I'll tell ye a' aboot it. Alec's in George Macwha's shop yonner." "And wha's Alec?" asked Dowie. Leaving them now to their private communications, I will relate, for the sake of its result, what passed between James Dow's companion and the smith.
"You used to take too much wine," he said half wildly, starting up again. "Permit me your hand, highness." Detricand dropped on his knee and took the wasted hand. Mr. Dow's eyes were glazing fast. With a last effort he spoke his voice like a squeaking wind in a pipe: "The Lord hath triumphed gloriously " and he leaned forward to kiss Detricand's hand.
To avoid the danger of retreating up the narrow neck of land which has already been described, some boats had been brought in the course of the night to Dow's Ferry on the Hackensack, not far from Powles Hook. The officer who guarded them was directed to remain until the arrival of the troops engaged in the expedition, which, it was understood, would happen before day.
"Belle Harcourt." "MY Belle! Oh, I'm glad of that. And so Princess Poppycheek is going to be made a queen! Well, so long as you're my Belle, you may be anybody's queen you like." "I like an awful lot of people." "Mostly men." "No, sir! The men mostly like me. I like mostly girls. Don't you think Daisy Dow's charming and pretty?" "Yes, she is a very pretty girl. You're fond of her?" "I am now.
