I told him that I didn't know much about it, but I was sure that at launching the hull only should have been completed, every-thing else being completed after she had floated safely. At the last minute there was some delay while we sought a name for her.
He knew how to ask questions of every-thing. Once he asked the light-ning a question. And the light-ning gave him an answer. Before the time of Franklin, people did not know what light-ning was. They did not know what made the thunder. Franklin thought much about it. At last he proved what it was. He asked the lightning a question, and made it tell what it was.
"An' that's jest where it's aggravatin' to have the leaves so thick and the trees so high between you and other folks' houses. Trees are good for shade, it's true, but there's a limit to all things. There was a time when I could see 'bout every-thing that went on up to Baxters', and down to Bart's shop, and, by goin' up attic, consid'able many things that happened on the bridge.
"Yet after all," harped the Vicar, "it comes to very little. A nuisance of course. Children cannot run about so freely as they used to do, what with ant bites and so forth. Perhaps it's as well ... There used to be talk as though this stuff would revolutionise every-thing ... But there is something that defies all these forces of the New ... I don't know of course.
Then the town was fagged with the long winter and blacked with the heavier smoke that had been held close to the earth by the smoke-fog it bred.

Every-thing that kindness and experience could suggest was done to relieve the sick man; but all efforts were in vain, and, to the consternation of the farmer and his family, their guest, in the course of a few hours, expired. At an early hour in the morning, in the midst of their trouble and anxiety, two travellers came to the gate, and requested entertainment.
"There is one thing you must do, if Cedric refuses to listen to reason," she said very seriously to him; "you must go down to Staplegrove and tell his sisters every-thing." "I suppose I must," he returned; but he spoke under his breath, for this new duty filled him with dismay.
A wiser man would now have been the lord of it.... So he felt, with his burning wish to protect and cherish the beloved woman, while saying: 'If we find a speedy bidder for The Crossways, you will have to thank our railways. 'You! said Diana, confident in his ability to do every-thing of the practical kind. Her ingenuousness tickled him.
I was a little weary of the rough tramping: but it was necessary to be moving; for, with wet clothes and the night air, I was decidedly chilly. I turned towards the north, and slipped and stumbled along. A more uninviting forest to pass the night in I never saw. Every-thing was soaked.
"Oh, yes!" said she; "I promise you every-thing, if you will only bring me back my golden ball." She thought to herself, meanwhile: "What nonsense the silly frog talks! He sits in the water with the other frogs, and croaks, and cannot be anybody's playfellow!" But the frog, as soon as he had received the promise dipped his head under the water and sank down.
