I wouldn't have a daughter of mine chasin' a fellar that had give her the mitten; but Charlotte ain't got no pride, nor her mother, neither. Where did you say you'd been, trapesin' through the snow?" "Has Rose got her things most done?" asked Sylvia, desperately. Distress was awakening duplicity in her simple, straightforward heart.
An' I tell my wife that he'd hev been better acquainted with her then, an' would hev fund out ez no woman war wuth mournin' 'bout fur nigh twenty year. My wife says she can't make out ez how Hil'ry 'ain't got pride enough not ter furgive her fur givin' him the mitten like she done.
They had taken the trail when it was hot and had lost it; now they railed at him when he took it cold. All that afternoon he tramped the streets, thinking, thinking, until his brain went stale. The only fresh clues he had discovered thus far were the marks on finger and thumb, the fact that the girl was a Canadian, and that she had possessed but one mitten instead of two.
Consequently, when grown up, they always follow women more willingly than men; and when they are drawing a heavy load, a woman will entice them on by pretending to eat a piece of meat, and by throwing her mitten before them on the snow, when, mistaking it for food, they hurry forward to pick it up.
The first time he tried it on Mauki, with one sweep of the hand it fetched the skin off his back from neck to armpit. Bunster was delighted. He gave his wife a taste of the mitten, and tried it out thoroughly on the boat boys. The prime ministers came in for a stroke each, and they had to grin and take it for a joke. "Laugh, damn you, laugh!" was the cue he gave.
"What do you think of your candidate NOW?" "Wait," said Dowden. "Who came in the hacks that Grist saw?" This staggered Mr. Peck. He rubbed his mitten over his woollen cap as if scratching his head. "Why," he said, slowly "who in Halifax DID come in them hacks?" "The Hunchbergs," said I. "Who's the Hunchbergs? Where " "Listen," said Dowden.

Jeeves, I'm sorry to say that fiancee of yours Miss Watson, you know the cook, you know well, the long and the short of it is that she's chosen riches instead of honest worth, if you know what I mean." "Sir?" "She's handed you the mitten and gone and got engaged to old Mr. Little!" "Indeed, sir?" "You don't seem much upset." "That fact is, sir, I had anticipated some such outcome."
"Come, come," said Dick, suddenly checking his mirth, "we mustn't play, pup, we must work." Drawing a leathern mitten from his belt, the youth held it to Crusoe's nose, and then threw it a yard away, at the same time exclaiming in a loud, distinct tone, "Fetch it."
Susan Peavey sat by the fire, knitting on a red mitten, and the young schoolmaster presided over the other hearth corner, reading very hard, at intervals, and again sinking into a drowsy study of the flames. There was an impression abroad in Tiverton that the schoolmaster was going to be somebody, some time. He wrote for the papers.
