Until George went she had never thought of herself; and so the selfishness of those she relieved had not struck her. Now it made her bitter to see that none of those she pitied, pitied her. The moment she came into their houses it was, "My poor head, Miss Merton; my old bones do ache so." "I think a bit of your nice bacon would do ME good. I'M a poor sufferer, Miss Merton. My boy is 'listed.
I have been out on deck looking things over and she seems to me to be down by the stern more than she ought." "Maybe she'll be lighter when more coal gets out of her," suggested another passenger.

They then told Kriemhild that many were still alive, but the queen replied: "It could never be, that any should have lived through such stress of fire. Rather will I believe that all lie dead." The lordings and their men would still fain have lived, had any listed to do them mercy, but they could find none among those of the Hunnish land.

Reinaldo sprang to his horse, lifted his mother in front of him, and followed. Then went the bridesmaids; and the rest of us fell into line as we listed.
So it was that young Molly Cosgrove, an assistant welfare worker, would be allowed to go from one mill to another in carrying out the new movement of Girl Scouts for mill workers between the ages of sixteen and twenty-two years.
