George put down his log, and then looked at his fingers critically. "I am very sorry, Miss Sewell, but I am not fit to touch. I hope your headache is better." Miss Sewell dropped her hand meekly, shot him a glance which was not meek, and said demurely: "Oh! my headaches do what they're told. You see, I was determined to come down and congratulate you."
And how the high-born knaves enjoyed it! White-kidded gentlemen and ladies laughed till the tears came, and clapped their hands in very ecstacy when that unhappy old woman would come meekly out for the sixth time, with uncomplaining patience, to meet a storm of hisses! It was the cruelest exhibition the most wanton, the most unfeeling.
We went into the yard, and found the coach houses quite empty. "That's very remarkable," said the vicar; "but these people are connected with that coach it changes horses here.

She was now all his own. He took his arm from round her waist, his arm that was trembling with a new delight, and let her go.

While Demdike knelt beside Paslew, a hand was put forth, and, before the man who had custody of the infant could prevent it, his little charge was snatched from him.
Time ceased to be measured accurately; events moved slowly in an unreal world of sultry heat and smoke and a red sun wading heavily through the copper-brown sky from the east to the west, and a moon as red which followed meekly after.
'I can hardly breathe. 'I can't help it, said Alice very meekly: 'I'm growing. 'You've no right to grow here, said the Dormouse. 'Don't talk nonsense, said Alice more boldly: 'you know you're growing too. 'Yes, but I grow at a reasonable pace, said the Dormouse: 'not in that ridiculous fashion.

Van Bummel, a good-looking woman of pleasant dimensions, to Miss Bellona Van Bummel, who evidently thought me beneath her notice, and to the Reverend Moses Wether, whose mild face, white cravat, and straight-cut collar proclaimed him. As I came in, his Reverence attempted to slip meekly out, but was stopped energetically by the General. "How is this? Mr. Wether, you know you cannot leave, Sir."
The inside pocket of the coat was drawn blank of all but a piece of newspaper, and Tresler pronounced his verdict in no measured terms. "You drunken little fool, you've lost it," he said, as he held out the unfolded newspaper. Joe seemed past resentment with his fresh trouble. He squinted hard to get the newspaper into proper focus.
