His sister toiled and moiled all she could, but it helped little; so at last she told him how silly it was to do naught for the house. "What shall we have to live on when you have wasted everything?" she said. "Oh, I'll go out and befool somebody," said Peik. "Yes, Peik, I'll be bound you'll do that soon enough," said the sister. "Well, I'll try," said Peik. At last they had indeed nothing more.
"I am here." The two great beasts were moiled together against the stream. . . . The man and woman, whose eyes still held, might have missed the flash of steel that Chakkra parried with his ankas.

If he had toiled and moiled all the best days of his life, at some work, perhaps, which did not even benefit in any way his fellow-men; if he had given up all his time to enriching himself anyhow, by fair means or foul; if he had gathered up a great business by crushing out competition and absorbing to himself the honest livelihood of a dozen other men; if he had speculated in stocks and shares, and piled up at last a vast fortune by doubtful transactions, all the world would have said, in its unthinking fashion, that Mr.

"Surely, John, you'll not let the babes make a toy of that?" John made a helpless gesture, and at a renewed call, went indoors. "You are right, Ambrose," said Stephen, "this is no place for us. Why should we tarry any longer to see everything moiled and set at nought? I have couched in the forest before, and 'tis summer time."

"Yes!" she said, at first with energy; and then on a more wavering note "Yes, but I admit a great many things have been done without it that I thought couldn't have been done.
