Miss Jarvis, what sits next ye at the table, she's kinder narvous, an' she says it sets her teeth on edge, an' she says she can't stan' it; an' she's my best payin' boarder, bein' she has the second-story front an' back; an' it would obleege me, ef ye don't min'. "'Jes' as lief eat off ten forks, ma'am, says I, 'ef it suits ye an' Mis' Jarvis.
"Who's gittin' narvous?" exclaimed George Forsyth, at whom Bremner had looked when he made the last remark. "Sure ye misjudge him," cried O'Connor. "It's only another twist o' the toothick. But it's all very well in you to spake lightly o' gales in that fashion.

Sit ye down, man, till I finish this note, and I'll be checkin' ye all right. I'll not be a minute." Lawyer Ed of course could not sit down, but wandered about the room examining the pictures on the wall, a few photographs of popes and cardinals. "Sure this is a terrible place for a heretic like me to be in, Father," he exclaimed. "Oi'm getting clane narvous.
At nights I has the cramp in them till it almost makes me halloo out with pain. It's a hard thing, when one has lost the sarvice of his legs, that all the feelings should remain. The doctor says as how it's narvous. Come, Jacob, shove in your pannikin. You seem to take it more kindly than you did." "Yes," replied I, "I begin to like grog now."
He set out in July, and he rid right straight through to November, nigh onto every day of his life. He got white, an' thin, an' narvous, from loss of sleep an' lack of food, an' his pa got restless, said Henry was takin' the 'lection more serious 'an he ever took the war. Last few days before votin' was cold an' raw an' Henry rid constant.
"Now, what's these young people been doin' that makes ye so almighty narvous?" he continued, lying back in his chair and looking at her from under his bushy eyebrows, his fingers supporting his forehead. "Everything. Goes out sailin' with her and goes driftin' past with his head in her lap. Fogarty's man who brings fish to the house told me." She had regained something of her old composure now.
"What's the matter, Uncle Julius?" inquired my wife, who is of a very sympathetic turn of mind. "Does the noise affect your nerves?" "No, Mis' Annie," replied the old man, with emotion, "I ain' narvous; but dat saw, a-cuttin' en grindin' thoo dat stick er timber, en moanin', en groanin, en sweekin', kyars my 'memb'ance back ter ole times, en 'min's me er po' Sandy."
I never told you that are story, nor your mother neither, for she could not stand it, poor critter, she's kinder narvous. I was among the last that remained behind the breast-work, for most on 'em, arter the second shot, cut and run full split.

I had mentioned to Harold that I was born in Australia " "Mack!" The Captain was out of his chair in one bound. "You born in Australia? Why in tarnation didn't you ever tell me that afore?" The minister looked puzzled. "My announcement had a similar effect on the Elder." "Go on, Mack. Don't mind me. I'm a mite narvous. All unstrung, I cal'late."
