If she had been strong and rugged her commonness would have had a certain vigor; but to be nearly refined without being quite refined is as harrowing as singing just a little off the key. To be far off the key is to be in another key, but to smite at a note and muff it is excruciation. Better far to drone middle C than to aim at high C and miss it by a comma.

"I wasn't couldn't have said so. I had the best of educations but all my masters were dull damned dull so they couldn't teach a quick lad, like me, too quick for them couldn't overtake me with their damned learning. I'm a straightforward man. I've common sense com common sense. Let us take a common sense view of this excruciation ex ex I mean exquisite argument.

From that period the curse was milder, but the victims raged. They swam on vasty deeps, they knocked at rusty gates, they shouldered all the weapons of black Insomnia's armoury and became her soldiery, doing her will upon themselves. Of her originally sprang the inspired teaching of the doom of men to excruciation in endlessness.

"Doubtless, my lord, the having, as you say, deserved it, must be an excruciation to your own mind," replied his tormentor; "a kind of mental and metaphysical hanging, drawing, and quartering, which may be in some measure equipollent with the external application of hemp, iron, fire, and the like, to the outer man."

"Will you help me?" Exerting all her strength the girl helped him to the ground. The position he had chosen was close to the still form of his dead wife.

Only meanwhile he wants it was a phrase of his own to keep all the excruciation for his own private enjoyment. That's what he said!" "I see. Of course, that makes a difference. And you think Sir Coupland thinks he will get all right again?" Mr. Pellew says he does think so, reassuringly.

The result, enhanced by the nature of the song, which was extremely pathetic and dubiously moral, must have been excruciation to every good ear and every sensitive nature. Long before the relief of its close arrived Hester had made up her mind that it was her part to protect her guests from such.

It is possible the matter might have blown over without more excruciation if nothing else had happened. But when things begin to happen they are apt to keep on. Avonlea scholars often spent noon hour picking gum in Mr. Bell's spruce grove over the hill and across his big pasture field. From there they could keep an eye on Eben Wright's house, where the master boarded. When they saw Mr.
