Ah, old Wolfe, if your homesick nurse could but have interpreted those expressive looks, those eloquent waggings of your bushy tail, as it flapped upon the grass, or waved from side to side; those gentle lickings of the hand, and mute sorrowful glances, as though he would have said, "Dear mistress, I know all your troubles. I know all you say, but I cannot answer you!"
I'll count it. Ten, twenty, thirty " With new lickings and clickings he counted the notes all over again. "There!" When he had finished his pride had become positively naïve. "Oh, my word!" murmured Rachel, awed and astounded. "It is rather a lot, isn't it?" said Mrs. Maldon, with a timid laugh. At once fascinated and repelled, the two women looked at the money as at a magic.
Well, I'll tell you, young fellow, as long as you live in that house, there, you'll obey and take the lickings I give you. My father built that house and I was born in it and so were you. Hemen come from our breed and only a sissy refuses to obey. I may not be as well educated as my ancestors back East were, but I'm just as well trained as any of 'em and you're going to be too.

He got to giving him a little licking, a mere taste of the stick, regular, just before the turn came on.

I'd never hesitate to thrash a dog if he deserved it, and thrash him good and hard, too. But so far Master Jan has never asked for lickings. Have you Jan?
"And it was easier for him to make up than for the boys who had got the lickings, was it?" "I guess it was," said Charlie, laughing. "Too bad to be broken up!" "Yes," and Charlie's laugh was turning to a cry. "You didn't think of the notice stuck up on the post, 'No cross words?" "Why, no! I know I forgot all about it."
"Poor little Eden poor little fiddlestick," said Jones, "it does the young cub good." "Send him home to his grandmamma, and let him have his bib and his night-cap," growled Harpour; "is he made of butter, and are you afraid of his melting, you Evson, that you make such a fuss with him?
