The door between me and the hall had a lock, but no key; another door, letting from my room to the room in front of it, had no lock, but was bolted. I slept heavily and for an hour or more. Then I was aware of something being moved slowly slyly by littles under my pillow. The pillow was in a case of new unbleached cotton.
"The common things are the best things," she seemed to hear over and over again. Then quite suddenly she was in Mrs Wishing's cottage, and the loft was filled with the heavy sickly smell of poppy tea: it was so strong that it made her feel giddy and her eyelids seemed pressed down by a firm hand. After that she remembered nothing more that night. "Many littles make a mickle." Scotch Proverb.
'I do hope you are industrious, and do not lose time in play and inattention. Remember Satan steals his marches on us by littles a minute now, and a minute then. Be on the look out, and don't be cheated by him! 'All your little trials will soon be over, so far as school life is concerned; and every one of them, if borne with patience, will make you a wiser and better man.
They not see me come and go; think I got magic. They scare of me." "All right," repeated Musq'oosis. "I lak sleep in my teepee. What you goin' do when you go back?" "When the bishop come I goin' marry the cook," said Bela calmly. "Um," grunted Musq'oosis. "Is he the bigges'?" "No," answered Bela. "He littles'. I watch him. He got stronges' eye." "So?"
He would ask him one question. Taking off his long outer garment and the handkerchief from his head, he threw them upon the orchard wall, and started after the posse, which he boldly joined. Through the stragglers he made way, and by littles at length reached the man who carried the ends of the rope with which the prisoner was bound.
"She's worth her weight in gold." "Lemme double it!" "Like fun I will. A spendthrift like you!" "Which way you going?" "We always go home by the beach. Shapiro made it a rule that the Bigs and Littles can't ever show themselves on Ocean Avenue." "Come on, you little flea; I'll ride you up the beach on my shoulder." "Oh, Mr. Jastrow, you you going to walk home with me and Baron?"
The fact that he received this instruction, as he himself said, "by littles," was doubtless an advantage. A lazy or indifferent boy would of course have forgotten what was taught him at one time before he had opportunity at another; but Abraham was neither indifferent nor lazy, and these widely separated fragments of instruction were precious steps to self-help.
Noting that a credit was offered in physiology, about which he knew nothing technically, he reasoned that as everyone, of course, knew already a little something about his insides and how they worked, one ought to be able to find out a little more from some textbook, and that the two littles might make enough for passing purposes.
If they could not uphold the honour of the flag with the pressed man's unqualified aid, they did what was immeasurably greater. They upheld it in spite of him. Upon the trade of the nation the injury inflicted by the press-gang is rightly summed up in littles.
