He cometh up an' is cut down lack as a flower. 'De days er his life is three-sco' an' ten' an' de ole jedge is libbed mo' d'n dat, suh, by five yeahs, ter say de leas'." "'Death," quoted Warwick, with whose mood the undertaker's remarks were in tune, "'is the penalty that all must pay for the crime of living."
Anna's head was better; the paroxysms of pain were leas frequent than in the morning, and she lay upon her pillow, her eyes closed wearily, and her thoughts with Charlie Millbrook. Why had he never written? why never come to see her? So intently was she thinking of Charlie that she did not hear the patter of little feet in the hall without.
The curiosity natural to man in respect to things which have obtained celebrity, joined to the conviction, hardly leas natural, that there is a certain merit in enduring privation and fatigue for the sake of religion, has in every age induced pilgrims to visit the scenes where our Divine Faith was originally established, and to communicate to their contemporaries the result of their investigations.
He always came home to Priory Leas for the summer intervals, when you may be sure there was great rejoicing loudest on the part of Agnes, who was then his constant companion, as much so, at least, as she was allowed.
He owned 'bout thirty-five hund'ed acres an' at leas' a hund'ed an' fifty slaves. "Ever' mornin' 'bout fo' 'clock us could hear dat horn blow for us to git up an' go to de fiel'. Us always quit work 'fore de sun went down an' never worked at night. De overseer was a white man. His name was Josh Neighbors, but de driver was a cullud man, 'Old Man Henry. He wasn't 'lowed to mistreat noboby.
In a somewhat bitter frame of mind the unfortunate young man strolled along the Leas and seated himself on a public bench, honestly wondering as he did so, whether he were sufficiently a member of the great and glorious public to have a right to do it while wearing the disgraceful and disgracing garb of a Trooper of the Queen.... Members of that great and glorious public passed him by in rapid succession.
They won't likely be back for a couple of hours at least. Whereupon Walden straightway took a swinging walk up to 'The Leas, deposited his card with the footman, for the absent 'fam'ly' and returned again in peace to his own dwelling.
The aspect of the downs is civilized as the banks of the Solent; and the coast wants nothing to complete the "fine, quiet old-country picture in the wilds of Africa" but herds of kine grazing upon leas shining with a golden glory, or a country seat, backed by the noble virgin forest, such a bosquet as Europe never knew.
He pointed, and there at the tip of his finger and sliding down the air with wings flapping slowly and at the speed of an exceptionally languid snail was a bee. And so we came out upon the Leas. There the thing seemed madder than ever.
"I don't know that I care to hear him," replied Richling. "Goin' to be a gwan' out-po'-ing, Mistoo Itchlin. Citizens of Noo 'Leans without the leas' 'espec' faw fawmeh polly-tickle diff'ence. Also fiah-works. 'Come one, come all, as says the gweat Scott includin' yo'seff, Mistoo Itchlin. No? Well, au 'evoi', Mistoo Itchlin." The political pot began to seethe.
