How could it be, indeed, in the face of all that had come and gone, and of the constant contrast, mind, body, and soul, with the perfect, the peerless Gladys! In this, the dreariest of his absences, seldom a word came to the two women waiting alternately in agonized expectation or dull despair. For Bayne was much of the time beyond the reach of postal and telegraphic facilities.
Carter was fain to walk from the quay to the station, where he expected to find Mr. Tibbles, or to obtain tidings of that gentleman. He was not disappointed; for, although the station wore its dreariest aspect, having only just begun to throb with a little spasmodic life, in the way of an early goods-train, Mr.
Froude has described this place as the dreariest spot in the British dominions: The nearest cottage is more than a mile from it; the elevation, seven hundred feet above the sea, stunts the trees and limits the garden produce; the house is gaunt and hungry-looking. It stands, with the scanty fields attached, as an island in a sea of morass.
The old man came out of his house, and seemed amused at our haste to be gone. "I am afraid Silberbach has not taken your fancy," he said. "Well, no wonder. I think it is the dreariest place I ever saw." "Then you do not belong to it? Have you not been here long?" I asked. He shook his head. "Only a few months, and I hope to get removed soon," he said.

Isn't it the poorest, lonesomest, wildest, dreariest bit of a hill a person ever passed a life on? When she stopped a moment, with the tears streaming on her face, I told a little about the poverty I had seen in Paris. 'God Almighty forgive me, avourneen, she went on, when I had finished, 'we don't know anything about it.
We would be forever heaping together possessions, dragging things into the cave of our finitude, our individual self, not perceiving that the things which pass that dreariest of doors, whatever they may have been, are thenceforth but 'straws, small sticks, and dust of the floor. When a man would have a truth in thither as if it were of private interpretation, he drags in only the bag which the truth, remaining outside, has burst and left.
It may be laying up treasures in heaven; but, by Jove, I had rather see it than hear tell of it." The Refrain. It certainly was the dreariest 24th of December an unhappy boy ever had the misery of witnessing. In a vain endeavor to get up an excitement, I expended my last fire-cracker; but the continuous drizzle drowned out every one.
And yet, as she had often told her parents, all she sought for was improvement: she honestly wanted the best. Her first struggle after she had ceased to scream for candy, or sulk for a new toy had been to get away from Apex in summer.
