“Oh, Billy, how glad I am to see you,” Maida said. “It’s been the lonesomest day.” “Sure, the sight av ye’s grand for sore eyes,” said Granny. Maida had noticed that Billy’s appearance always made the greatest difference in everything. Before he came, the noise of the wind howling about the store made Maida sad. Now it seemed the jolliest of sounds.
Ah, my hardest path must I ascend! Ah, I have begun my lonesomest wandering! He, however, who is of my nature doth not avoid such an hour: the hour that saith unto him: Now only dost thou go the way to thy greatness! Summit and abyss these are now comprised together! Thou goest the way to thy greatness: now hath it become thy last refuge, what was hitherto thy last danger!
Picture me meeting Hal Bentley in a Forty-fourth Street club and asking him for the location of the lonesomest spot on earth. Hal thought a minute. 'I've got it', he said, 'the lonesomest spot that's happened to date is a summer resort in mid-winter. It makes Crusoe's island look like Coney on a warm Sunday afternoon in comparison. The talk flowed on, along with other things.
Jest before we git to Beaver Dam, there's a deep gut that runs 'longside of it fer a hundred yards or more. Foller me in there, Leander, an' stay hid till I sez move. Don't speak a word, from the time we push off till I sez so. Beaver Dam is the lonesomest creek in the world, an' mebbe Gil's little sister is kept in one of them ol' shacks what muskrat hunters live in, in the spring an' summer.
"That the lonesomest place in all the world is in a crowd in a big city." Pollyanna frowned and pondered. "Is it? I don't see how it can be. I don't see how you can be lonesome when you've got folks all around you. Still " she hesitated, and the frown deepened. "I WAS lonesome this afternoon, and there WERE folks all around me; only they didn't seem to to think or notice."
We'd better pack up and rack down the trail to the ranger's cabin. Not on my account, but on yours. I'm afraid you've taken cold." "I'm all right, except I'm very lame; but I am anxious to go on. By the way, is this ranger Settle married?" "No, his station is one of the lonesomest cabins on the forest. No woman will stay there." This made Wayland ponder. "Nevertheless," he decided, "we'll go.
Nobody knew much about how he got along, for the Appleby house is half a mile from anywhere, down near the shore at the end of a long lane the lonesomest place, as I did not fail to remember when I was considering Isaac's offer.
"'Pears to me you are mighty lively and most of the time, too," he said, in a tone of offence, tinged with wonder. "Why not?" said the priest, still chuckling. "Why shouldn't I be lively?" Tommy Dye hesitated, more puzzled now than angry. "Well, you see, your job has always seemed to me just about the lonesomest there is."
If any body wanted to stop in the wildest and lonesomest place he could find in the Alps, so as to be saturated with a sense of savageness and desolation, I would recommend this hotel. The chambers are reasonably comfortable, and the beds of a good quality a point which S. and I tested experimentally soon after our arrival.
I went around and clumb over the back stile by the ash-hopper, and started for the kitchen. When I got a little ways I heard the dim hum of a spinning-wheel wailing along up and sinking along down again; and then I knowed for certain I wished I was dead for that IS the lonesomest sound in the whole world.
