"You think I had better not mention the matter to Mrs. Crawford?" he said. "By no means she might think it was a reflection upon her for carelessly mislaying the first." "True," and the doctor, who was fond of peace, consented to his friend's plan. "By the way," asked Ashcroft, "who was your wife what was her name, I mean before her second marriage?" "She was a Mrs. Cook."
His hands were busy with his garments all this time: turning them inside out, putting them on upside down, tearing them, mislaying them, making them parties to every kind of extravagance. "I don't know what to do!" cried Scrooge, laughing and crying in the same breath; and making a perfect Laocoön of himself with his stockings. "I am as light as a feather, I am as happy as an angel.
With the same regularity that the sun rose he and Woods, the carpenter, had their daily set-to, if over nothing more important than the mislaying of a file or saw no doubt they were at it now. Bruce sighed. It seemed eons ago that he had had time to watch the kingfisher flying to his nest or the water-ousel ducking and teetering sociably at his feet.

The burden of moving fell on Pinkey, for her father had never lost a day at Grimshaw's in his life; and after Mrs Partridge had hindered for half an hour by getting in the way and mislaying everything, Pinkey usually begged her in desperation to go and wait for the furniture in the new house.
