.... We reached the shore drenched, angry with ourselves, and with each other; I started sulkily for home. As I rode past an orchard, an apple, loosened by the rainstorm, came down with a thud. "The apples were ripe and ready to fall, Oh! heigh-ho! and ready to fall." I made up my mind to pack, and go away. But there's a strangeness, a sort of haunting fascination in it all.
What a sigh she will give what a free breathing hers will be, the day when I can show her, as plainly as I see myself, that it is nothing but her own fears and griefs that have crossed her path, and she never doubting that they were demons and sprites! Heigh-ho! Where is Erlingsen?
In fancy he could almost smell the queer, rancid odor of the crimson bloom crushed beneath the feet of the farmers' boys who cut the butter-yellow mustard from among the bearded grain. "Heigh-ho and alackaday!" thought Nick. "It is better in the country than in town!"
A week and more has elapsed since I left home, and not a line from you; not even the Sunday letter. Observe, that the journal is to be sent to me enclosed in a letter every Monday morning. Plan of the Journal. 16th December, 1793. Learned 230 lines, which finished Horace. Heigh-ho for Terence and the Greek grammar to-morrow. Practised two hours less thirty-five minutes, which I begged off.
"Lost his head!" says Benbow; "the lying fellow, why he told me it was his leg; but I never in my life believed what he said without being sorry for it afterwards." A painter was employed in painting a West India ship in the river, suspended on a stage under the ship's stern. The captain, surprised at the boy's delay, cried out, "Heigh-ho, there, you lazy lubber, why don't you let go the painter?"
"Uncle Bernique can hold the claim alone, you know. And I'm wasting hope and energy here. What's the use in staying longer?" She was very busy with the bacon now and he did not see her face. There was a wild quiver on it, of grief, fright, dismay. "You ought not to leave Uncle Bernique and Piney, I am sure of that," she said at last earnestly, almost commandingly. "Heigh-ho!
I'm only a servant, but I knew you when you were a boy, Mr. Leaf: and if you would trust me, if you would let me be of use to you in any way if only because you were so good to him there." "Poor Tom Cliffe; he was not a bad fellow; he liked me rather, I think; and I was able to doctor him and help him a little. Heigh-ho; it's a comfort to think I ever did any good to any body."
Well do I remember your musing eye and thoughtful brow bent kindly on me from the stage-box yonder: and do you recollect how prettily you used to moralise on the deserted scenes when the play was over? And you sometimes waited on these very boards to escort me home. Those times have changed. Heigh-ho!" "Ay, Fanny, we have passed through new worlds of feeling since then.
If so he thought it only some night bird in the brush. "Heigh-ho!" he exclaimed with some return of his old cheer, "it's about time we were starting!" He jumped to his feet and began brushing the sand from his clothes. When he had done, he walked out upon the rim of beach and stretched himself until his arm-bones cracked. Again the hidden head shot forth from its concealment.
For this I was not sorry, as I began now to feel sleepy. "I'd rather be a dog with the mange than a sailor," yawned Tom Jerrold when Sam Weeks roused him out of his nice warm bunk to go on duty in the cold grey morning. "Heigh-ho, it's an awful life!" So, it can be seen that all of us were not of one opinion in the matter.
