I'm happier than any human ever had a right to be, an' life never drags none at least not in the daytimes. The' 's dozens o' boys named after me, an' only the recordin' angel knows how many dogs an' ponies. Take it as a big gatherin', an' if any one yells, "Happy, you rascal, get out o' here," Why the' 's a general stampede.
We are threatened with an influx of stylish people: "Buttons" to answer the door-bell, in place of the chamber-maid; "butler," in place of the "hired man;" footman in top-boots and breeches, cockade on hat, arms folded a la Napoleon; tandems, "drags," dogcarts, and go-carts of all sorts.
It is probable that the larger part of the material composing these continental shelves has been brought to its position by tidal action.

"That's right, my lad, and I'd say take a good fast holt of my hair, only Ikey Gregg scissored it off so short when it turned so hot that there's nothing to hold. But can you hyste yourself up a bit higher?" "I'll try, Joe; but the water drags at me so. But, Joe, what are you holding on to?" "What they'd call a arm of the tree, sir."
and immediately afterwards drags the poet over the precipice of anti-climax: "'T was a haunted spot. A legend killed it for a kindly home, A grim estate, which every heir in turn Left to the orgies of the wind and rain, The newt, the toad, the spider, and the mouse." A little of Costar's well-known exterminator would rid Mr. Aldrich of this rascal rodent.
But choose another; leave me mine. Redworth took the hint. He stated the title of Mrs. Rainer burst out, with clenched fists: 'He beats her! The fellow lives on her and beats her; strikes that woman! He drags her about to every Capital in Europe to make money for him, and the scoundrel pays her with blows.
I feel that I am being strangled by him; I deal him a blow in the stomach with my fist, and he tumbles backwards; only, as his hand still grips my throat, he drags me down with him; the others attack me at the same time, and I am captured!
